“This restaurant does seem fancy.//
I think we should obey,”/said the first man.//
Both men cleaned their boots/and combed their hair.//
They looked much nicer.//
But as they put down the brush,/the wind outside blew again/and — whoosh — the brush vanished!//
“What… ?!”//
The two men were frightened.//
Clutching each other,/they opened the door with a bang.//
On the back of the door, they found another sign.//
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR GUNS AND BULLETS
HERE.//
Beside the sign was a gun rack.//
The two men were very hungry.//
They quickly obeyed the sign, forgetting their fear.//
They put their guns and cartridge belts on the rack.//
Turning around, they spotted a black door with another sign.//
WE POLITELY ASK YOU TO REMOVE YOUR HATS,
COATS AND BOOTS.//
“What should we do?” asked the first man.//
“We have no choice,” said the second man.//
They quickly removed their things/and hung their hats and coats on the hooks.//
Then they shuffled through the open door/in their socks.//
On the back of the door,/they noticed another message.//
PLEASE REMOVE YOUR TIE-PINS, CUFF LINKS, GLASSES,
WALLETS AND ANYTHING METAL,/
ESPECIALLY POINTED THINGS.//
Nearby was a safe with the door open/and a key.//
“I suppose/they’re worried about the electricity used for cooking,”/said the first man.//
“You’re probably right,”/said the second man nervously.//
“But we have to leave our wallets.//
I guess we pay here when we go.”//
The men removed their metal accessories and wallets.//
They put everything into the safe and locked it.//
The two men walked on/and reached another door with a jar beside it.//
They found a new sign on the door.//
PLEASE SPREAD CREAM ALL OVER YOUR FACE,
HANDS AND FEET.//
“Why do they want us to put cream on?”/asked the first man.//
“I think I know,” said the second man.//
“It’s because the weather outside is chilly/and they don’t want us to get rough skin.//
How thoughtful!”//
He took the jar and began to spread the cream/all over his face and limbs.//
The other man was extremely hungry/and imitated his friend.//
They even took their socks off/and put cream on their feet.//
Then they opened the door and entered a new room.//
Closing the door,/they noticed another sign with a smaller jar of cream beside it.//
HERE.//
Beside the sign was a gun rack.//
COATS AND BOOTS.//
“What should we do?” asked the first man.//
WALLETS AND ANYTHING METAL,/
ESPECIALLY POINTED THINGS.//
Nearby was a safe with the door open/
HANDS AND FEET.//
“Why do they want us to put cream on?”/
