In the Train

It was summer when a young girl in a pretty dress quickly entered a compartment of a train and sat down. At the same moment, the train began to move. In the compartment there was only a young man, who was sitting on the other side opposite her.

The young man said: “Excuse me, miss, but—”

“If you speak to me again, I’ll give the alarm and stop the train,” said the girl quickly.

The young man did not say anything more. When the train was coming up to the station, he stood up and said:

“I tried to tell you that you were sitting on my paper bag of strawberries. But you did not want to listen, so now your dress is ruined.”
