Amy and Ted went out for breakfast, to a nearby restaurant.
When they had finished, they walked back to the motel. Ted took the room key from his pocket and tried to place it in the lock. It didn't fit.
"C'mon! Get in there!" Ted shouted at the key. But the key didn't listen.
He finally gave up after a few minutes and turned to Amy, "I don't understand why it doesn't fit, it was fitting before."
Amy placed her hand on Ted's shoulder, "Let's just go and ask the clerk at the front desk about it. Maybe he can help."
"Okay," Ted agreed, and they went to the front desk.
The clerk, who was busy filing some paperwork, saw Ted and Amy approaching and looked up from his work. "Hello. How may I help you?" The clerk asked.
Ted placed the key on one of the piles of papers on the clerk's desk in front of him. "Our key seems to be not working in our lock," Ted said.
The clerk eyed the key strangely, then picked it up and examined it, "Hmm.. looks alright to me. Are you sure? Maybe you weren't at the right suite?"
"No, I think we were at the right suite. 303, right?" Ted asked.
The clerk checked in one of his books and found the information. "Yes, 303 is correct. Let me check this out," The clerk said, and stepped out from behind his desk. He followed Ted and Amy to their suite.
The clerk tried to place the key in the lock, but was unsuccessful as well, "That's just the darndest thing!" The clerk said, frustrated, "I'm going to call a locksmith."
The locksmith arrived and managed to open the suite's door.
Ted, Amy and the clerk stepped into the room.
Their jaws dropped.
