One day my uncle Melik travelled from Fresno to New York. Before he got aboard the train his uncle Garro paid him a visit and told him about the dangers of travel.
"When you get on the train”, the old man said, choose your seat carefully, sit down and do not look about. Several moments after the train begins to move two men in uniform will come down the aisle and ask you for your ticket. Ignore them. They will be imposters. Then a young man will come to you and offer you a cigarette. Tell him you do not smoke. The cigarette will be doped.
"On your way to the diner a very beautiful young woman will run into you on purpose and almost embrace you. She will be extremely apologetic and attractive, and your natural wish will be to become friends with her. Don’t do this, go into the diner and eat. If she speaks, pretend to be deaf. That is the only way out of the whole trouble.
