New Concept English II - 24 (12/23/2008)

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 money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there

now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do

nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he

said. He started to 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 $50. 'I found this outside this

gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the

manager, 'there is still some honesty in this

world!'
