Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together . One day a family went to spend the day in the forest , and the son left his socks there . After the family left , a bear came by , found the socks , and decided to try them on. They fit so well , and he liked them so much that he wouldn’t take them off.

All the animals talked about the bear’s new look . Soon , in that forest, there began appearing squirrels (松鼠) in shirts , rabbits in shoes , and even rats wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head , telling animals , “This can’t be good . △ !” But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion .

However , it wasn’t long the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees , stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn’t go into his hole without taking off his hat first . Even the bear , because of his socks , slipped (滑倒) from the river rock and almost killed himself.

When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they are going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor’s advice stopped having accidents . And the animals realized that they didn’t need clothes at all . Starting to wear them had been very dangerous , and they had only done it to make others admire them , and to get attention.

Last Tuesday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. So I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into a station coffee shop 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 my coffee, there was someone sitting near to me. It was one of those strange-looking young men, with dark glasses, torn clothes, and long hair. But I wasn't surprised at such a young man. What surprised me most was that he had started to eat my chocolate!

I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn't want to get into trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't say anything. When he took a third one, 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 and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, "This woman is crazy!" Everyone looked at me. That was embarrassing(令人难堪) enough. But it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave. It wasn't my chocolate I had eaten a moment before. Mine was just under my newspaper.
