He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said , “Who’s there? It’s me! Who else could it be?” shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right, but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again!
