About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to
21 too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning,
22 , the clerk said that he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof
23 I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but go to the
24 lawyer.
The lawyer
25 me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred dollar bill to the desk. So we did. An hour later, I went
26 to the desk and asked for my money.
27 I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the
28 hundred dollar bill, the clerk could not say he
29 nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s
30 into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to
31 for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and
32 the clerk insisted that he had given
33 to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, “ I
34 this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don’t hand it
35 immediately, I will be forced to call the
36 ”. The clerk realized he had been 37 , so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“ I don’t know
38 to thank you enough for
39 my money back.” I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “ Oh, don’t
40 me. That will be one hundred dollars, please.”
