He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and when dinner time came, he refused to go down to the place where people had their dinner, saying that he did not feel well.

The following day he did not get up until breakfast was over, pretending that he had overslept At lunch time, he kept out of the way, too. But by the time of dinner, he became very hungry.

“I can’t stand this any longer,” he said to himself. “I must get something to eat.” At dinner table, he ate everything put in front of him. When he was quite satisfied（满意的）, he felt stronger and at once went to see the waiter.

“Bring me the bill,” he said to the waiter. “The bill?” said the waiter in surprise.

“Yes,” answered the traveler.

“There isn’t any bill here,” said the waiter. “On this ship, meals are already included（包括）in the ticket.
