Last year John traveled through Italy on his way to England. His train stopped at Turin for a few hours. He put his suit-cases under the seat, and went off to see the town and have lunch. As he was walking along the street, he saw a good restaurant and entered.

As John was eating, he was taking in the atmosphere of the place. It seemed a good restaurant. John finished his enormous lunch. He ordered coffee and a cigar, and called for the bill.

Then he got up to go and walked over to the counter, where the proprietor was talking to a friend, and put his hand into his breast-pocket to get out his wallet. To his surprise, his breast-pocket was empty. He told the proprietor that he had lost all his money. To John’s utter astonishment the proprietor let him go saying to return if he finds the money.

He went to the nearest police-station and told them that someone had robbed him. Then he went to collect his luggage at the station. And great was his surprise when he saw his wallet lying on the floor near his luggage! He rushed back to the restaurant. He paid the bill giving very good tips, and asked the proprietor why did he believe him and let me go without paying the bill? The man smiles and said: “Because when you come here again, you will definitely have dinner here”.

T.: So, P2, tell me, what title would you choose?
