Tres hombres delicados. ¿El estado de salud de Jorge y Harris. ¿Una víctima de ciento siete graves enfermedades. ¿Excelentes prescripciones facultativas. ¿Cura para las afecciones del hígado en los niños. ¿Llegamos al convencimiento de que sufrimos un exceso de trabajo y necesitamos descanso. ¿Ocho días sobre las procelosas aguas del mar(?). ¿Jorge sugiere el río. ¿ Montmorency presenta una objeción. ¿La moción original aprobada por mayoría de tres contra uno.Nosotros cuatro, Jorge, Guillermo, Samuel Harris, yo y Montmorency, estábamos sentados en mi cuarto fumando y charlado sobre nuestra triste situación ¿ claro está que eso se refería a nuestro estado de salud.¿ Nos sentíamos tan aplanados, tan deprimidos física y moralmente, que ya comenzábamos a preocuparnos. Harris dijo que a menudo le daban unos vahídos tan fuertes que no se daba cuenta de lo que hacía; Jorge añadió que también sufría de fuertes vértigos y tampoco se daba cuenta de sus acciones. En cuanto a mí, sólo se trataba del hígado, que no funcionaba bien; sí, estaba seguro que era cuestión del hígado, pues acababa de leer un prospecto de unas pastillas en el cual se detallaban los diversos síntomas de este trastorno, con lo que se permitía a cualquiera darse cuenta de las anomalías de su hígado, y yo ¿ ¡pobre de mí!¿ experimentaba todos esos síntomas.

THREE MAN IN A BOAT:- is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K. Jerome and was published in 1889. This is an account of Jerome?s two-week boating holiday on the River Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The most amazing part of this book is that it contains jokes which are fresh and witty even today for the modern readers. The three men in the book are real ones and based on Jerome himself (the narrator Jerome K. Jerome) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave and Carl Hentschel with whom Jerome often took boating trips. There is also the dog, Montmorency, who is fictional but, contains as an essential element.The book?s original purpose was intended to be a travelogue that author as narrator describes while passing through various landmarks, villages and historical places. However, author frequently digresses into humorous anecdotes. The most frequent topics of anecdotes are river pastimes such as fishing and boating and the difficulties they present to the three men on previous boating trips.

Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers - the jokes have been praised as fresh and witty. The three men are based on Jerome himself (the narrator Jerome K. Jerome) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave (who would become a senior manager at Barclays Bank) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing business, called Harris in the book), with whom Jerome often took boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional but, "as Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog". The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff.
