I didn"t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me. The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn"t have any proof (证 据) that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer. The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Because I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it. Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer"s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied (否认) it. The lawyer said to him, "I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you don"t return it immediately, I"ll be forced to call the police." The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
