once a rich traveler was travelling during night. At last he reached a town. He came to an inn but found the door of the inn locked. The rich traveler knocked at the door. The inn keeper shouted from inside, "who are you at such a late hour?" what do you want? The door is locked and so cannot be opened."rich man was badly shivering with cold. He again requested the inn-keeper to open the door."I am helpless."Replied the inn-keeper, "It is a strange lock, can only be opened with a silver key." The rich an understood the intention of the inn-keeper. He passed a rupee through a slit. Now the inn-keeper opened the door and the traveler went it.
The rich man was also very clever. He said, "I have forgotten my bag outside. Will you please fetch it or me?" No sooner did the inn-keeper go outside than the rich man bolted the door from inside. the greedy inn-keeper now requested him to open the door. The rich man gave the same reply. "I am helpless. It is a strange lock, can only be opened with a silver key." The inn-keeper pushed the same coin through the slit. the traveler took his coin back and opened the door.
