Three men and a waiter

Three men and a waiter

Once upon a time , there were three young men. They were very good friends. One of them, who was a short man, was exceptionally clever. They often played tricks on people and had good fun.

        One day, they went to a hotel and played a trick on a waiter. They ordered eggs, bread, fruit and coffee for breakfast. Then, they asked the waiter for the bill. When the waiter brought the bill, each of the three young men wanted to pay the bill given by the waiter. As they were about to quarrel, the short man suggested a plan. He said to the waiter ,"We should blindfold you. Try to catch one of us and the one who gets caught will pay the bill".

         The waiter agreed to be blindfolded. He tried to catch them but he couldn't because they all ran away. Just then, the owner of the hotel came in. At last, the waiter caught the owner thinking that the caught person would be one of the three young men and asked him to pay the bill. When the waiter saw the owner, he scolded the waiter for his stupidity. But, it was too late now as the trick had worked. The waiter had to foot their bill amount from his salary.
