Three men came to New York for a holiday. They stayed in a large hotel and their room was in 44 floor.
In the evening, the three men came back late, and the clerk of the hotel told them the lifts didn't work. They didn't want to sleep in the hall, so they began to walk up to their room.
On the way, Tom told them many jokes, Andy sang some songs. At last they came to the 1 floor.
Then Peter said, "I shall tell you a sad story. It's not long, but sad enough. We left the key to our room in the hall."

有三个人来到纽约度假。他们住在一家大酒店，房间在44层。
晚上三人回来得很晚。酒店管理员告诉他们电梯坏了。他们不想睡在大厅，所以开始上楼回房间。
路上汤姆讲了许多笑话，安迪唱了几首歌曲。最后他们来到了第41层楼。
这时彼得说，“我将给你们讲一个悲惨的故事。故事不长，可是真的很悲惨。我们把房间钥匙落在大厅了。”
