探検家のグレイはなぜ、高級ホテルに入れてもらえなかったのでしょうか?
Richard Gray was a famous explorer". He was also a millionaire". He had visited every
country in the world.
Last year he decided to walk across Red Devil Valley, the hottest place on Earth. He
walked for days over the hot desert sand. One night he found the place that he had
camped in the day before. Gray had walked (). He was lost.
Two days later he had drunk all his water. He couldn't walk. He crawled" to the top of
a sand dune* and saw a man. The man was wearing clean trousers, a white shirt, and a tie.
Gray crawled over to him.
4 "Water, water," he said.
"I'm terribly sorry," replied the man, "but I haven't got any water with me."
"Help me!" shouted Gray. "I'm a millionaire. I'll give you anything."
That's very nice of you," said the man. "Look, I can't give you any water, but
would you like to buy my tie?"
NO
45 "A tie? Of course ()!" screamed Gray, and crawled away. He crawled slowly up
the next sand dune. His lips were cracked and dry. When he reached the top of the dune, is
he saw a huge luxury hotel. People were swimming in the huge swimming pool. There
were beautiful fountains everywhere.
"Is it a mirage*?" he thought. He stood up and staggered down the dune.
A porter in a white uniform came out of the door.
"Water. Please!" screamed Gray.
"I'm sorry, you can't go into this hotel," said the porter.
Why not? I've got plenty of money."
"Yes," replied the porter, "but you aren't wearing a tie."
