Once,late at night,an englishman came out of his room into the corridor of a hotel and asked the servant to bring him a glass of water.the servant did as he was asked.the englishman reentered his room,but a few minutes later he came into the corridor again and once more asked the servat for a glass of water.the servant brought him another galss of water.every few minutes the englishman would come out of his room and repeat his request.after a half hour the astonished servant decided to ask the englishman what he was doing with the water."nothing,"the englishman answered imperturbably,"it is simply that my room is on fire."
