One weekend, all of the hotels in Green City were full because there was a large meeting. Mr. Black was the manager of a   1   in the city. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for   2   . Mr. Black said there were   3   rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

Mr. Black wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was   4  . He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Black said the room would be thirty dollars,   5   for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

Mr. Black soon began to feel sorry, so he called his assistant over, gave him five dollars and said, “  6   the money to those three men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.”

The assistant took the money. While he was   7   the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I will give them each one dollar and keep two dollars for   8   . The men will be   9   to get something back. And Mr. Black will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

The next morning, the three men went to thank manager before they left. They said, “Thank you for   10   us three dollars back.” Mr. Black was surprised but he said nothing. After the three men left, Mr. Black called the assistant to his office and said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think you can stay here any more.”
