One day a man came into a hotel in a little country town. His clothes were very dirty, and he looked very tried. “ Do you have a room here _____ me?” he asked. The hotel man at the desk thought, “ I don’t want this man ____ here. He’s too dirty for my hotel.” “ I’m sorry.” He said. “ We don’t have any ___ rooms. There’s a small hotel down the street. You can ask there.”

Soon an important-looking man having fine clothes came into the hotel. “ I’ve come to see Mr. Jefferson,” he said. “ Mr. Jefferson?” “ Yes, Vice-president(副总统) Jefferson. We planned to meet here.” The hotel man was ____ “ A man _____ dirty clothes was just here. I thought he was a farmer, and sent him to another hotel a few minutes ago.” The hotel man _____ the Vice-president’s room in the other hotel.

“ Oh, Mr. Jefferson,” he said, “ I’m very sorry I thought you were a farmer. We have a room at our hotel. Please come back.”
