By the time Bill arrived in a little town．every hotel room had been taken．“You have to give me a room somewhere，”he said to the manager at the hotel，“or just a bed—I don’t care where．”

“Well，I do have a double room with one guest，”answered the manager，“but to  tell you the truth，he snores（打鼾）so loudly that people in the next room have complained．I’m not sure if you would like to live with him．”

“No problem．”Bill said to him．“I’ll take it．”

The next morning，Bill came down to breakfast happily．

“HOW did you sleep?”asked the manager．

“Very well。”answered Bill．

The manager was surprised．“Didn’t that guest snore last night?”

“No，I made him stop snoring at once，”said Bill．

“How did you do that?”asked the manager．“Did you give him some medicine to stop the snoring?”

“No，I didn’t．But here is what I did．He was lying in bed when I went into the room。”Bill explained，“I went over，gave him a kiss on the face，and said，‘Good night，my dear，’and he sat up all night watching me．”

When he opened the door, he saw a man standing with a hat in his hand. “How do you do?” said the man,“ Can you come at once to a place out of town? It’s quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way.”

“Certainly,” said the doctor, “I’m quite ready. I can come at once.” After a few minutes the car was standing at the front door, the man got into the doctor’s car, and they drove off.
