Mr. Gray travelled a lot on business: He sold machines of different kinds to farmers.
He had a big car, and usually
driving it long distances, but he was quite satisfied to go by
sometimes too, especially when the
was bad. He was a little afraid of driving in rain or snow, and it was
tiring to sit comfortably in a train and looked out of the window without being worried about how
was going to get to the next place.
One of Mr. Gray’s problems was often
to stay when he reached some small place in the country. He did not
great comfort and wonderful food, but he found it annoying (使恼火) when he was given a cold room, and there was no hot water or food after a long and
day.
Late
winter evening, Mr. Gray arrived at a small railway station. The
by train that day had not been at all interesting, and Mr. Gray was cold and tired and

satisfying meal by a brightly burning fire，and then a hot bath and comfortable bed.

there. “As this is my first visit to this
of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to
about hotels before l left home, I would very much like to know

The local man answered, “We have
.”
“And which would you
me to go to ?”Mr. Gray asked him.
The local man thought for a while and then answered, “Well, it’s like this: Whichever one you go to, you’ll be
you didn’t go to the other.”
