My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s 1now but it wasn’t that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 2a rest before catching the train, so I bought a 3and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long 4to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 5a place and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 6seat. It was one of those 7young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 8at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 9me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just 10down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 11. then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 12it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a 13piece , I felt more 14than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 15it.
The boy gave me a 16look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone 17. That really made me feel silly, but it was 18when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I 19I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my 20.
