He slipped it through the hole and the door was opened. When the traveller entered inside he said, “I have left my box outside, please bring it.” As the gate-keeper went outside, the traveller closed the door behind him. The traveller repeated what the gate-keeper did to him by asking for a silver coin to re-open the door. The dishonest man had to return the silver coin by slipping it again through the hole.
