Mr. Roca's Disappointment


PARI A

El sefior Roca era gerente de una compaflia grande. El ganaba mucho dinero pero no
partes
gastarlo para tener las cornodidades de la vida. En el trabajo tenia que viajar mucho a diferentes
del mundo. Cuando viajaba siempre se quedaba en el hotel m6s barato que encontraba. A veces,
estos
hoteles estaban en mala tondici6ny los empleados eran muy desagradables. Sin embargo, al seflor Roca
no le importaba nada. Solamente queria saber que no tenia una cuenta grande cuando estaba listo para
salir.

PART B

Una noche cuando lleg6 a la ciudatl de San Pablo, una ciuiad completamente desconocida para 61,
record6 que le habian dicho que en esa ciudadlos cuartos en los pisos m6s altos costaban menos. Decidi6
buscar el hotel m6s alto y como no queria pagar el taxi, decidi6 caminar.

Cuando lleg6 al hotel estaba_ cansado, pero pensaba que en un hotel de'cuarenta pisos, pagaia
muy poco dinero. Lleg6 sin aliento y le dijo a la recepcionista:

- Seflorita, me gustaria una habitaci6n en el piso cuarenta, por favor.

Ella le dijo:

- Lo siento mucho seflor, pero todas las habitaciones en ese piso ya estSn ocupadas.

lPobre seflor Roca!
