Knobe looks at the old man squarely in the eyes and says, "Sir I am on a long journey from a far away land, and the earth has begun to take its toll on me. All I need is a place to stay for a few days and I will be on my way."
Knobe watched as the old man registered this. A loud commotion erupted, behind the gate. "Gate keeper," Knobe pleaded, "Please let me in so that I may help."
Knobe knew this act should work on the old man. It had worked on many people.
