Chapter 1: The Silver Key

The Silver Key

Once on a stormy night, a traveller went to an inn to seek shelter. He was highly disappointed to find the door locked. When he knocked at the door, the keeper of the inn called out from inside, "I am sorry, I can't open the door for I have lost the key. However, the door can be unlocked with a silver key. Do you have one?" The traveller, who was quite intelligent, got the hint at once and pushed a silver coin under the door. The keeper opened the door and let him in.

As soon as the traveller got inside, he thanked the keeper and requested him ti bring in his bag. The moment the keeper stepped outside, the traveller shut the door and locked it. “What is this joke? Please open the door immediately,” shouted the keeper from outside. “It is no joke,” the traveller replied. “I am sorry, I have lost the key. The door can be opened only with a silver key.” The keeper had to push the silver coin under the door. The traveller got his silver coin back before letting the dishonest man in.
