A handsome man went into a hotel and
asked to see the boss. When the boss came,
the story began.
-The client: is room 39 empty?
-The boss: yes, sir.
-The client: can I book it?
-The boss: of course you can.
-The client: thank you.
Before going to the room, the client asked
the boss to provide him with a black knife, a
white thread 39 cm and an orange 73g.
The boss agreed though he was surprized at
the weird things the client asked to have.
The client went into his room, he didn't ask
for food or anything else.
Unfortunately for the boss, his room was
next to room 39.
After midnight, the boss heard strange
voices and noise in that client's room.
Voices of wild animals and of utensils and
dishes being thrown on the floor.
The boss didn't sleep that night. He kept
thinking and wondering what might be the
source of the noise.
In the morning, when the client handed the
keys to the boss, the latter asked to see the
room first.
He went to the room and found everything
alright. Nothing unusual. He even found the
thread, the black knife and the orange on
the table.
The client paid the bill and gave the bellboys
a very good tip and left the hotel smiling.
The boss was in a shock but he didn't reveal
what he heard to the bellboys. In fact, he
started to doubt himself.
After one year, the client showed up again.
He asked to see the boss again. The boss
was in a puzzle.
The client asked the same things: room 39,
black knife, white thread 39cm and an
orange 79g.
This time, the boss wanted to know the
truth by all means possible. He spent a
sleepless night, waiting for something to
happen. After midnight, the same voices
and noises started, this time louder and
more indecipherable than the year before.
Again, before leaving, the client paid his bill
and left a large tip on the table for the
bellboys. The smile didn't leave his face.
The boss started searching for the meaning
of everything the client asked to have. Why
did he ask room 39? why the white thread?
why the black knife??? In fact, the boss
didn't arrive to any convincing answer to all
these questions.
The boss now was eagerly waiting for the
month of March, the month in which the
client showed up.
To his surprise, on the first day of March,
the same client showed up. He asked the
same questions. Wanted to book the same
room, wanted to have the same things as
before.
The boss again heard the same noises, this
time more louder than before.
In the morning, when the client was leaving
the hotel, the boss apologized politely to the
client and asked to know the secret behind
the noises in the room.
-''If I tell you the secret, do you promise to
never reveal it to anyone else?''
-''I promise I will never let anyone know''.
-''Swear''
-''I swear I won't reveal your secret''
So finally, the client revealed his secret to
the boss.
Unfortunately, the boss was a sincere
person. Until now he hasn't revealed his
secret to anyone.
When he does, I will let you know... thank
you for reading.
