The mayorread the letter and thought it was cute, so he asked hissecretary to send the boy ＄10, thinking the boy wouldthink that was a lot of money for a little boy.When Sammy got the money, he was so excited that he sat down immediately to write a thank-you letter.“Dear God,” he wrote, “Thank you very much for the money you sent.

Sharing a Hotel Room
By the time Bill arrived in a little town, every hotel room had been taken. “You’ve got to give me a room somewhere,”
he said to the manager at the hotel, “or just a bed --- I don’t care where.”
“Well, I do have a double room with one guest,” admitted the manager, “and he might be glad to split 6 the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores 7 so loudly that people in the next room have complained lately. I’m not sure it’d be worth it to you.”
“No problem.” Bill assured 8 him, “I’ll take it.” The next morning Bill came down to breakfast bright-eyed.
“How did you sleep?” asked the manager.
“Never better.”
The manager was impressed. “No problem with the other guy snoring 9, then?”
“No, I shut him up in no time,” said Bill.
“How did you manage that?” asked the manager.
“Did you give him some medicine to stop the snoring?”
“No, I didn’t. But here is what I did. He was already in bed when I went into the room,” Bill explained. “I went over,gave him a kiss on the forehead, and said, ‘Goodnight,beautiful,’ and he sat up all night watching me.”
