　　　　     My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that　　 happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't at the 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 colored bright red at the front. Not so　　 unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he'd started to eat　　 my chocolate!

　　     Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid 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 (争论).　　 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.
