My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't
at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I
bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop-that cheap self-service place
with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table
to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking
youngsters, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair coloured bright red at the front. Not so unusual these
days.What did suprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed (苦恼). However, to avoid (避免) trouble-and really I was rather uneasy about
him-I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The
boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't
start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the
last piece." and I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman's crazy!"
Everybody stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready
to leave. My face turned red-as red as his hair-when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that
I'd been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.
