"Is that a cat?" Asked Anderson. "Or is there a madman in the room next door?"
"It's Mr. Jensen," said the landlord. "He often stays in room 14. The poor man must be ill."
A loud knock sounded on the door of Anderson's room. Suddenly a man opened the door and came in.
"Please stop that terrible noise," the man said.
"Mr. Jensen." The landlord said. "We thought you were making the noise!"
The three men looked at each other for a moment. Then they went out quickly into the corridor. The noise was coming from the door of room number 13!
The landlord banged on the door and turned the handle. The door was locked.
"I'll bring men to break the door down," the landlord shouted and ran down the stairs.
Jensen and Anderson stood outside number 13. The noise inside the room became louder and wilder.
"I want to tell you something strange," Jensen said to Anderson. "My room has three windows in the day and only two at night. Perhaps you think I am mad."
"Good Lord! My room is the same!" said Anderson. "My room looks smaller at night than during the day."
安德森先生问:“是猫吗?还是隔壁住了个疯子?”
“是延森先生。他总住14号房间,那可怜人一定是病了。”
有人很大声得敲安德森房间的门,然后一个人推门走了进来。
“请不要再发出那可怕的噪声了。”那人说。
旅馆老板说:“延森先生,我们还以为那是你发出的声音哪。”
三个人你看看我,我看看你,然后迅速来到走廊上。声音是从门上标着13的房间里发出的!
旅馆老伴使劲擂门,并转动门把手,门是锁着的。
“我去找人来把门砸开。”旅馆老板怒喊着跑下楼梯。
延森和安德森站在13号房间门外,里边的声音变得越来越大越来越狂野。
延森对安得森说:“我想告诉你件怪事,我的房间白天有三个窗户而晚上变成两个,也许你会以为我疯了。”
“天哪!我的房间也是这样!”安德森先生说,“我的房间晚上要比白天小。”
