学二姐，每日一篇新概念 II册第24课 ，边学边实践-9月13日

24.It could be worse
I entered the hotel manager’s office and sat down. I had just lost 50 pounds and felt very upset. I left the money in my room, I said, and it’s not there now. The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. Everyone’s losing money these days, he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained 50 pounds. I found this outside this gentleman’s room, she said. Well , I said to the manager, there is still some honesty in this world.

I lost 50 pounds and complained to the hotel manager sadly. The manager feel bad but he said he could do nothing about it. He was cursing this bad world but was stopped by a knock at the door. A girl came in and told the manager she found my money. I told the manager there are still good people around.


Any input are welcomed.
