ANECDOTE

It Could be Worse

I had a shameful moment this sunny morning.

After attending party tonight, I came back to my hotel. When I opened my hotel’s room, I met someone who reminded me to be careful in saving precious things. I just smiled at him and leave him away.

In this sunny morning, I was very surprised about losing my money. I looked for it surrounds my room but I couldn’t find it. Then, I decided to go the hotel manager’s office. I explained that 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 couldn’t do anything. “Everyone’s losing money these days,” he said. I started to complain about this wicked world. I said that this hotel’s security was the worst. I felt disappointed. Suddenly, my complaint was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on the desk. It contained $50. “I found this outside this gentlemen’s room,” She said.

He felt very disappointed after getting complaint about thing he never done.

I still confused why this envelope was outside my room.
