Three men came to New York for a holiday. They came
to a very large hotel and took a room there. Their room was on the
forty-fifth floor. In the evening the young man went to the cinema. When
the film was over, they went to a restaurant and had supper there. They
came back to the hotel very late.
"I am very sorry", said the clerk
of the hotel, "but our lifts do not work at night. If you don't want to
walk up in your room, you can sleep in the hall".
"No, no", said
one of the three men, "no, thank you. We shall walk to our room". Then
he said to his friends, "I think I know how to make it easy for us to
walk up to the forty-fifth floor. On our way to the room I'll tell you
some jokes, then you, Peter, will tell us some interesting stories".
So
they began to walk up to their room. At last they came to the
thirty-fourth floor. They were very tired by that time, and they decided
to have a rest. "Well", said Tom, "now it is your turn, Peter. Tell us a
story with a sad end'*.
"I'll tell you a story", said Peter. "It
will not be long, but it will be sad enough. Listen. We have left the
key to our room in the hall downstairs".
