The Boy Wins!
The Boy Wins!
Just before the train started a boy ran up to the ticket inspector and whispered: “Sir, there's two men on that train without tickets.”
The inspector searched the carriages in vain, and then seeing the informer standing near, enquired: “Where are they?”
“On the engine!” replied the boy, making rapid tracks for the exit.
