Dog and A <br>Three Dollars (by Mark Twain) <br>I have always believed that a man must be honest. «Never ask for money you have not earned», I always said. <br><br>Now I shall tell you a story which will show you how honest I have always been all my life. <br><br>A few days ago at my friend's house I met General Miles. General Miles was a nice man and we became great friends very quickly. <br><br>«Did you live in Washington in 1867?» The general asked me. <br><br>«Yes, I did,» I answered. <br><br>«How could it happen that we did not meet then?» Said General Miles.<br><br>«General», said I. «We could not meet then. You forget that you were already a great general then, and I was a poor young writer whom nobody knew and whose books nobody read. Do not the remember You me, I of Thought, But <br> we once recording Met in Washington You AT That time. » <br><br>I of the remember IT very a well. I was poor then and very often I did not have money even for my bread. I had a friend. He was a poor writer too. We lived together. We did everything together: worked, read books, went for walks together. And when we were hungry, we were both hungry. Once we were in need of three dollars . I do not remember why we needed these three dollars so much, but I remember well that we had to have the money by the evening. <br><br>«We must get these three dollars, » said my friend. «I shall try to get the money , but you must also try.»<br><br>I went out of the house, but I did not know where to go and how to get the three dollars. For an hour I was walking along the streets of Washington and was very tired. At last I came to a big hotel . «I shall go in and have a rest,» I thought. <br><br>I went into the hall of the hotel and sat down on a sofa. I was sitting there when a beautiful small dog ran into the hall. It was looking for somebody. The dog was nice and I had nothing to do, so I called it and began to play with it. <br><br>I was playing with the dog, when a man came into the hall. He wore a beautiful uniform and I knew at once that he was General Miles. I knew him by his pictures in the newspapers. «What a beautiful dog!» Said he. «Is IT your dog?» <br><br>I of DID not have time to HIM? Answer the when of He Said, «the Do you want to sell IT?»<br><br>«Three dollars», I answered at once. <br><br>«Three dollars?» He asked. «But that is very little. CAN you give I of fifty DOLLARS for IT. » <br><br>« No, the no. Only want a three I of DOLLARS. » <br><br>« The Well, IT is your dog. You want three If dollars for it, I shall be glad to buy your dog. » <br><br>General Miles paid me three dollars, and took the dog went up to his room. <br><br>Ten minutes later an old man came into the hall. He looked round the hall. I could see that he was looking for something. <br><br>«Are you looking for a dog, sir?» I asked. <br><br>«Oh, yes! Have you seen it? »Said the man. <br><br>«Your dog was here a few minutes ago and I saw how it went away with a man,» I said. «The If you want, I of Shall the try to the find IT for you.» <br><br>Of The man WAS very happy and Asked me to help HIM.<br><br>«Shall I of the BE Glad to help you, But IT will of take some of up my time and ...» <br><br>«I of am the ready to a pay you for your time,» Cried the man. «How much do you want for IT?» <br><br>«The Three DOLLARS,» answered I. The <br><br>«the Three DOLLARS?» Said the man. «But it is a very good dog . Shall you a pay I of ten you the find the if DOLLARS IT for me. » <br><br>« No of sir, I of a three DOLLARS want and not a dollar more, »Said I. The <br><br>Then statement I of up closeup Went to the Miles of General's room. . Of General of The WAS playing with a His new dog »I of CAME found here to take the dog back», Said I.
