Mark Twain had to leave school and look for a job. His elder brother was working as a printer and he
helped the boy to learn printing. For some years, he worked as a printer for the town newspaper and
later for his brother, who at that time had started a small newspaper. The two young man published it
themselves. Mark Twain wrote short humorous stories and printed them for their newspaper. In 1853,
Mark Twain decided to leave home. He went to New York, and then to Philadelphia, where he worked
as a printer. When he was a boy, he dreamed of becoming a sailor. At 20, he found a job on a boat
travelling up and down the Mississippi, but he had to pay 100 dollars to get the job. On that boat he
learned the work of a sailor.
