10. AT THE CUSTOMS

A train stopped at a French border station. The passengers
opened suitcases and waited for the inspection of their things. One
of the passengers of a ftrst-class carriage took many packets of
cigarettes out of his suitcase and wanted to put all of them into his
pockets.
When his pockets were already full of cigarettes and he could
not put any more boxes into them, he said to another passenger
who was sitting at the window:
«Will you please take some of these boxes and put them into
your pockets?»
«Why don't you leave them in your suitcase?» asked the other
passenger.
«You see, I'm afraid of the customs officer,» said the man.
