An old gentleman whose
eyesight was failing came to stay in a hotel room with a bottle
of wine in each hand. On the wall there was a fly which he took
for a nail. So the moment he hung them on, the bottles fell broken
and the wine spilt all over the floor. When a waitress discovered
what had happened, she showed deep sympathy for him and decided
to do him a favour.
So the next morning
when he was out taking a walk in the roof garden, she hammered
a nail exactly where the fly had stayed.
Now the old man entered
his room. The smell of the spilt wine reminded him of the accident.
When he looked up at the wall, he found the fly was there again!
He walked to it carefully adn slapped it with all his strength.
On hearing a loud cry, the kind-hearted waitress rushed in. To
her great surprise, the poor old man was there sitting on the
floor, his teeth clenched and his right hand bleeding!
