asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn"t have any proof (证
据) that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk.
This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Because I had the lawyer as an
eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer"s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I
went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already
given it to me, I denied (否认) it. The lawyer said to him, "I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars.
If you don"t return it immediately, I"ll be forced to call the police."
The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
"I don"t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back," I said to the lawyer. And what you
suppose he answered? He said, "Oh, don"t thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please."
