The group of spies was holding a secret meeting,
when the group leader called in a man and said,
"I want you to deliver the secret documents to Master Spy X-26.
He is living downtown in an apartment under the name, Gerhardt."
"How will he know that I am a fellow spy," the man said.
"Simple," said the boss.
"When he answers the door,
you will say the secret code that is known only to us.
This is the code: 'When the restaurant closes, I'll eat in the streets.' “
When Gerhardt hears this he will recognize you as a fellow spy."
The messenger took the documents and found the building.
Arriving, he noticed on the mailbox there were two Gerhardts
living in the building.
He didn't anticipate a problem in getting the right man,
however, because of the secret code.
He rang at the first door.
A man answered.
The messenger looked furtively over his shoulder, then whispered quietly,
"When the restaurant closes, I'll eat in the streets."
"No, no!" Protested the man at the door.
"I'm Gerhardt the tailor. You want Gerhardt the spy, who lives upstairs."
