To his great surprise, the old man showed little interest; in fact, he appeared to be bored. At last, being rather annoyed at such indifference, he asked the reason. “Don’t you know who I am?” asked the other. i “Why, no, I don’t,” was the answer. “I’ve only just arrived.” “Well,” said the other, “I’m Noah.”
