According to Thomas Paine, it is just and justifiable to go to war under two circumstances. One of them is when the sacrifice of a few men would save masses of human beings and made them happy. The evidence of this can be grasped by the phrase he uses: '... when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.'
The other situation that can justify a war is when troops invade a country and make it theirs. Paine beholds a country as a home, that's why he uses that metaphor to describe a piece of land. The evidence for this statement is when he says '... but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it... am I to suffer it?
On the other hand, he does not believe it is justifiable to go to war seeking wealth. He states: 'Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war...'

Answer:
HOW TO TELL A STORY AND OTHERS by Mark Twain
Paragraph 5 stated that "The humorous story is told gravely." This statement narrows the author's main idea on "How to tell a story and others" to how a humorous story can be told. This means that the author's specific purpose for writing this short story was to explain how to tell a humorous story. Since this was not stated initially, the author decided to refine his main idea in this paragraph by stating clearly that "the humorous story is told gravely." This assertion helps the storyteller to conceal the funny aspect from their audience. He then differentiates telling a humorous story from a comic and witting stories.
Explanation:
Mark Twain wrote "How to Tell a Story and Others" in 1897 to inspire writers and other storytellers that in telling their stories they should be mindful of the type of storytelling that their audience like. Moreover, in the storytelling they must be resilient enough to hide the funny nature of the story while they are narrating it. The overall purpose is to enable their audience to have the last laugh. According to him, this makes telling a humorous storytelling a job for an artist.
