1Had the writer's money been stolen?
2I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down.
3I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset.
4'I left the money in my room,' I said,
5'and it's not there now.'
6The manager was sympathetic,
7but he could do nothing.
8'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said.
9He started to complain about this wicked world
10but was interrupted by a knock at the door.
11A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk.
12It contained $50.
13'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said.
14'Well,' I said to the manager,
15'there is still some honesty in this world!'
