Today I will talk about the paradox of the magic bill, which has gone viral on social media. A paradox is a fact, expression, or story that seems contrary to logic. A tourist arrives at a hotel. He is very picky about the rooms, so he asks the receptionist if he can see them first. The receptionist agrees, but asks the tourist to leave $100 at the front desk. The tourist leaves a $100 bill and goes upstairs to look at the vacant rooms to see if he likes any of them. For more episodes and the full text, visit SpeakEnglishpodcast.com/podcast
