Three men came to New York for a holiday. They stayed in a large hotel and their room was in 44 floor.
　　In the evening, the three men came back late, and the clerk of the hotel told them the lifts didn't work. They didn't want to sleep in the hall, so they began to walk up to their room.
　　On the way, Tom told them many jokes, Andy sang some songs. At last they came to the 1 floor.
　　Then Peter said, "I shall tell you a sad story. It's not long, but sad enough. We left the key to our room in the hall."

　　有三個(gè)人來到紐約度假。他們住在一家大酒店，房間在44層。
　　晚上三人回來得很晚。酒店管理員告訴他們電梯壞了。他們不想睡在大廳，所以開始上樓回房間。
　　路上湯姆講了許多笑話，安迪唱了幾首歌曲。最后他們來到了第41層樓。
　　這時(shí)彼得說，“我將給你們講一個(gè)悲慘的故事。故事不長，可是真的很悲慘。我們把房間鑰匙落在大廳了。”
