   Mr. Knight was the manager (经理) of a hotel (旅馆) ，One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night,three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Knight said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

  Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418,a very small room,was empty. He asked them if they would share (共享) a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars：ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.  

  Mr. Knight soon began to feel sorry. "Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as a price for that small room. " he thought. He called his assistant (助手) over and said; "Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room."

  The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there,he started to think, "How can three men divide (分配) five dollars?
