One dark stormy night an elderly couple hurried into a hotel and asked whether they could be  36  for the night." I’m very sorry,” the clerk on night shift said politely, "we are all  37   tonight．  38  ,you
could stay in my room if you don't mind．I’m  39  , so I'll be here．“ The young man gave the sincere advice．
The elderly couple accepted his  40  with gratitude．They apologized for the  41  they had caused him．The next day, the rain stopped and it  42  ．When the old gentleman went to pay his bill, the same clerk said．" The room you and your wife stayed in is not a proper  43   room in this hotel, so you don't need to pay．”
The old gentleman nodded in   44  :  “You are an employee that every boss in the hotel business would dream of．Perhaps someday I’ll build a hotel for you．”The clerk was__45  but, deciding that the
guest must have been  46  , he gave the remark  47  thought．
Two years later, the young man received a registered letter from the old gentleman, in which he 48  the experience of that dark stormy night．The letter also  49 a formal invitation, asking that young man to pay a visit．
At a street comer in Manhattan, the young man met his  50  guest．The old gentleman, pointing
to a magnificent new building__51  over the crossroads, said, "Look, that is the hotel I  52  to build for you．I hope you will  53  it for me．Remember what I said then? Well, I was  54   about it．”
The young man stammered, "But…will there be any  55  ,sir?  Why do you choose me? And who are you?"
“My name is William Aster．”This building was none other than the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a symbol of supreme status and honor in New York．
