man who said that he'd lost his keys
and wanted to get into his house
quietly. The locksmith went with
the young man to a house near by

The German stuck to his task and
In ten minutes he had the way clear.
Then he whistled.
The young man came up. The lock-

He was told to come around in the

The young man walked into the

Next morning he went around for
his money. The house was full Of
