Text:

It is easy to go to Washington now. You can go there by airplane from any large town of the USA. There are also fast trains and you can go by car if you have it. But in the old days people had to travel sev­eral days to get from New York to Washington. People went there by coaches driven by horses or went on horseback. They stopped at inns to have a rest or to eat there and sleep.

There is a story about a new congressman who stopped at an inn one night and asked for a place to stay. The innkeeper wanted to know about the man and he asked, "Are you a Democrat or a Republican?"

"Why do you ask?" said the congressman.

"Well", said the innkeeper, "I always want to please my guests and I know that a Republican likes to have good food and rest, but a Democrat is more interested in the care and feeding of the horse."

"Well, it so happens" said the congressman, "that I am a Republican, but my horse is a Democrat."
