THE INNKEEPER’S WIFE

Exhausted and famished, a vagabond stumbles to a roadside inn with a sign that reads “George and the Dragon”. He knocks at the gate and the innkeeper’s wife sticks her head out a window.

“Could ye spare a bit of victuals?” he asks.

The woman glances at his shabby, dirty clothes. “No!” she shouts.

“Could I have a sip of water?”

“No!” she shouts again.

“Could I at least sleep in your stable?”

“No!” she repeats.

The vagabond says, “Might I please...?”

“What now?” the woman screeches.

“D’ye suppose,” he asks, “that I might have a word with George?”
