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
the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores 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 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, 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.”

比尔到达小镇时，所有的旅店都客满了。“你无论如何要帮我找个房间，”他对旅店经理说，“或者一张床也好，我不在乎在哪儿。”
“这样的话，我们确实有一间双人间仅住了一位客人，他也许会很乐意和你分担房费，但我要提醒你的是，事实上他打鼾非常得响，以至于最近连隔壁房间的客人都来抱怨。我不知到您是否在意。“
”没问题，我就要它了“。比尔回答说。
第二天，比尔下楼吃早饭，神清气爽。
"你睡得怎么样?"经理问他.
“不能再好了”
经理很诧异。”那么，同屋的鼾声没有影响到您了？“
”没有，我立马让他一声不响了“比尔说。“你怎么做到的，”经理问”你给他吃药了吗“
“不，没有，我进去时他已经上床了，”比尔解释说”我只是走过去，在他前额上亲了一口，一边说’晚安，亲爱的‘，他就坐着盯着我看了一宿。
