"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to them myself."-"The Watermelon". This is probably one of my favorite quotes from Twain's book. I find it incredibly funny, because it shows his personality to be humorous and sarcastic. He is obviously trying to lighten the mood in his speech which is why he includes this type of joke. Also, I think that a lot of people sometimes feel the same way, in that they believe that they tell good stories. We all like to talk about ourselves which is why I found like quote so relatable to society as a whole.
