O. Henry was the pen name of William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), an American writer of outstanding short stories known for their wit, wordplay, warm characterization, and surprise endings.

But when he inspects the card he discovers that the card given to him has on it only three words: The Green Door. Everyone around him has received a card for dental treatments. He returns and passes the tout again - and again receives a card saying The Green Door. So the young man enters the next building in search of a green door....
