Smith began walking across the hot sand under the sun. He hoped he would soon reach the road again.

Soon, his tongue (舌頭) was thick with thirst. He needed water, but everywhere he looked there was nothing except sand.

Smith kept walking. Then, about an hour later, a man riding a camel came into sight. Smith waved to him. The man on the camel rode up to him and stopped.

“Please,” Smith said, “I am dying of thirst. Let me have some of your water.”

The man slowly shook his head. “You can’t have any water,” he said, “but I’ll sell you a beautiful tie.”

“I don’t want a tie.” Smith shouted at him furiously. “I need water.”

But the man turned away quickly and rode off.

Smith continued walking. Two hours later, he met another man riding a camel. This time he asked if he could buy some water, but the man refused, saying, “No, but I’ll sell you a tie.”

Angrily, Smith turned away from him and continued walking.

Three hours later, by which time he was near death, Smith saw a large hotel in the distance. It stood alone in the middle of the desert, surrounded by palm trees. Smith managed to reach the main entrance. He was about to enter the hotel when the doorman stopped him.

“Hey!” he said. “This is a first-class hotel. You can’t come in here without a tie.”
