Tom works in a big office building. Today he has an important meeting at 10 o'clock. He takes the elevator to the third floor. He looks at his phone to check the room number. 'Room 305,' he reads. He walks down the long hallway. He finds room 305 and opens the door. Five people sit around a big table. They all look at Tom. 'Hello, Tom! Please sit down,' a woman says. Tom feels confused but sits in an empty chair. 'So, what do you think about the new logo?' she asks. Tom does not know anything about a logo. He looks at the other people in the room. He does not recognize anyone. 'I'm sorry,' Tom says. 'I think I am in the wrong room.' The woman looks at her papers. 'This is the marketing meeting,' she says. 'Oh no!' Tom says. 'My meeting is about sales.' Everyone in the room laughs. 'The sales meeting is in room 503,' a man tells him. Tom stands up quickly. 'I am very sorry for the mistake,' he says. He runs to the elevator and goes to the fifth floor. Now he remembers: five-zero-three, not three-zero-five!
