Mistake

When a railway conductor began collecting tickets one morning, he discovered that the first passenger had the wrong ticket. 

“I’m sorry, sir,” said the conductor, “but you’re on the wrong train.” You will have to change trains at the next station.” 

He collected several more tickets and found that these passengers, too, were carrying the wrong tickets. It seemed strange that so many should have made the same mistake. Then he discovered the truth. He, the conductor, was on the wrong train!

Nagging

One day, a beggar was begging. He knocked at the door. A lady came from the house. Seeing the beggar, she began to abuse him saying, “You look strong enough to work. It is a bad omen to see beggars in the early hours of the day. I have no patience with such dirty fellows. Get out of my sight immediately. If not, I will call my husband.” 

“Your husband is not in the house”, said the beggar. 

“How do you know that,” asked the lady. 

“If he were to be in the house, he should be sick or a coward. A healthy, courageous and normal man would not stay with you for your nagging nature,” said the beggar as he walked away
