A tourist was staying in Norway for a couple of weeks and spent all his money. He could only pay his passage back to England.
He thought: "It is only a two days' journey, and I can go to England without food."
So he went on board a ship and bought a ticket. He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell and when dinner time came he did not go to the saloon: "I do not feel well," he said.
The next morning he did not have breakfast pretending to oversleep himself, and at lunch time he again stayed in his cabin. At dinner time he was so hungry that he said:
"I'm going to eat even if they throw me overboard afterwards."
At dinner table he ate everything put in front of him. Then he asked for the bill and waited for the coming row.
"The bill, sir?" asked the steward.
"Yes," answered the tourist.
"There isn't any bill," was the answer. "On this ship meals are included in the passage money."
