--- Lesson 24 It could be worse
--- First listen and then answer the question.
--- Had the writer's money been stolen?
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!'^“
