The owner of “The George” was feeling sad. He did his best to make his pub a comfortable, pleasant place. The beer was good, the food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. But his pub was never full. One day, an old man entered the place. There were no people in the pub. He asked, “Why are you so depressed?” After listening to a sad story, the man said, “Change the name of the pub”. “That’s impossible!” said the owner. ”It’s been called “The George” for many generations and it is very well known”. “Change the name! You must call it “The Five Bells” and have six bells hanging at the front door”. The owner agreed to give it a try. Things changed. All the passers-by came in to point out the mistake.
