I. An absent-minded man was travelling by train. Suddenly he began to search all his pockets and looked very upset. One of his fellow-passengers in the compartment asked him:

- What's the trouble?

- It's my ticket. I can't find it anywhere.

- Well, no need to be upset, you'll certainly find it. Then another passenger said:

- You'd better find the ticket or you'll be in trouble if the inspector comes.

- Oh, it's not that, - answered the absent-minded man, – but I don't know where I am going.
