A young American was travelling by train across Europe to Paris. It was a long journey and
he was bored. Sitting opposite him was a Frenchman of about fifty. There was a newspaper on
the seat next to him.
„Excuse me“, the American said, „Can I borrow your newspaper, please?“
„No,“ the man answered. „I´m sorry, you can´t.“
„Why not?“ the American ased.
„Well,“ the man said, „it´s quite simple.
If I lend you my paper, we will start talking.
If we start talking, we will become friends.
If we become friends, I´ll invite you to my house.
If I invite you to my house, you´ll meet my beautiful daughter.
If you meet my beautiful daughter, you´ll fall in love with her.
If you fall in love with her, you´ll run away together.
If you run away together, I´ll find you.
If I´ll find you, I´ll kill you.
So, that´s why I don´t want to lend you my newspaper.
