及屈准 頼侘野腎 (慌20弌籾�暫塵〔�1蛍��諾蛍20蛍)

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the  36  , the couple went to the front desk hoping to  37 for the night.

^Could you  38   give us a room here? ̄ the husband asked.

The clerk, a  39   man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and  40  that there were three conventions(寄氏) in town.

^All of our  41   are taken, ̄ the clerk said. ^But I can¨t send a  42   couple like you 43   into the rain at 1 o¨clock in the morning. Would you please be  44   to sleep in my room? It¨s not exactly a suite(耗型), but it will be good enough to make you   45   for the night. ̄

The couple said no politely.

^Don¨t  46  me. It is just fine with me, ̄ the clerk told them.

As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, ^You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I¨ll build  47   for you. ̄ The three of them had a good  48  .

Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten it  49   he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and put in a round-trip  50   to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit. The old man met him in New York, and  51  him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.

He then pointed to a great new  52   there, a palace of reddish stone. ^That, ̄ said the older man, ^is the hotel I have just built for you to  53  . ̄

^You must be  54  , ̄ the young man said.

^I am sure I am not, ̄ said the old man, the name of  55  was William Waldorf Astor, and the magnificent structure was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young clerk, George C. Boldt became its first manager.
