A Joke

Everyone has read stories about Sherlock Holmes, who was a famous detective. He was the most famous detective of all time.

The author of all the stories was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Once Sir Arthur arrived in Paris. He took a cab and asked the cabman to take him to a big hotel, where he was going to spend the night. The cabman brought him to the hotel. When he received his money he said, "Thank you very much, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." Sir Arthur was surprised, "How do you know who I am?" he asked. "Well, sir, I read in the newspapers yesterday that you were coming to Paris from the South of France. The train, by which you arrived, came from the South of France. Your hat and your clothes told me that you were English. I put all together and guessed at once that you were Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."

"That is wonderful," said Sir Arthur. "With so few facts you were really able to know me." "Of course," said the taxi- driver, "your name was on both of your travelling bags. That also helped."

The cabman played a joke on Conan Doyle.
