One dark and stormy night, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia,hoping to get shelter for the night.

The clerk,a friendly man with a beautiful smile,explained that there were three conferences in town. "All of our rooms are taken, ”the clerk said,"but I can' t send a nice couple like you into the rain at one o'clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not a suite, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night." The couple agreed.

As the elderly man paid the bill the next morning,he told the clerk,"You are the kind of person who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday 1,11 build one for you." The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh.
