A tramp knocked at the door of an inn named "George and the Dragon.""Could you spare a poor man a bite to eat?"
He asked the woman who answered the door.
"No!" She screamed, slamming the door.
A few seconds later the tramp knocked again.
The same woman answered the door.
"Could I have a bite to eat?" said the tramp.
"Get out, you good-for-nothing!" shouted the woman.
"And don't you ever come back!"
After a few minutes the tramp knocked at the door again.
The woman came to the door.
"Pardon," said the tramp,
"but could I have a few words with George this time?"
