  A Sad Story

Three men came to New York for their holidays. Their names were Tom, Pete and Andy. They came to a hotel and asked for a room. The friends got a room on the forty - fifth floor.

They went sightseeing, visited the picture gallery and looked into some shops. In the evening they came back to the hotel from the cinema.

The servant in the hotel told them: “ I’m sorry, gentlemen, the lift doesn’t work. If you don’t want to go up to your room, you can sleep here, in the hall. I’ll bring you the bed linen.

“ No, no”, said the men, we shan’t sleep in the hall. We shall go up to our room. Then Tom said to his friends: "It’s not easy to go up to the forty - fifth floor. I know what we shall do. I shall tell you a lot of jokes. Andy will sing us songs and Pete will tell us an interesting story”.

The three friends went up to their room. They listened to Tom’s jokes, then Andy sang songs. When they came to the thirty - fifth floor, Tom said to Pete: “ Now we shall listen to your long and interesting story. ”

“ Yes”, answered Pete, “but my story is short and very sad. I have no key with me. It is on the table in the hall. ”
