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.

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.”
