Lesson24 It could be worse
I entered the
hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost ￡50 and I felt very upset.' I left the moneyin my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, buthe could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He startedto complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained ￡5o. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!’
