"Because I always sit in the same seat behind you," the man says.

One morning, my uncle is reading a newspaper on the train. A man behind him says "hello" to him and begins to talk to him. "Your life isn't interesting, is it? You take the same train every morning, and you always sit in the same seat and read the same paper."

My uncle lives in a village, but he works in a big city. He goes to work by train every morning and comes home in the same way.

"How do you know all that?" My uncle asks.
