An old porter worked at the railway station for a long time. One morning he was standing and waiting for travelers to ask him to help them with their luggage（包裹）, when he saw a short man running towards -the train with a big bag in his hand.
The porter watched the man for a few seconds, and then the man saw him. At once the short man ran up to the porter and asked, "Can I catch the 10:35 train to London, porter? "He was breathing very fast, and he seemed worried.
The old porter looked at him for a moment and then said with a smile, "Well, sir, I'd like to help you, but I can't answer your question because I don't know how fast you can run along rails. You see," he explained, "The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. "
