"A Tramp Abroad" by Mark Twain is a funny travel story about Twain and his friend Mr. Harris traveling through Europe, with a lot of their time spent in Germany. The story is told with Twain's special kind of humor, and he notices a lot about the different people and places they visit. At the start, Twain talks about how not many people travel around Europe on foot by themselves, and he wants to see the land and the art. As they go from Hamburg to Frankfort and other places, Twain shows how interesting the cities are, tells funny stories about history, and watches what the people do, like when he learns about money while buying a cigar. This makes the trip seem fun and smart, and it makes you want to travel to another country with Twain and see everything in his funny way.
