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.

"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.
