Mr. West wanted to buy a Christmas present for his wife, but he always had much to do at work. He was never able to find time to go shopping.
A week before Christmas, Mr. West could not wait any more. He worked at an office, and usually had lunch in a restaurant. But one day he bought some cakes, ate them quickly and went to a big shop near his office during his lunchtime. The shop was full of women. At first, he was waiting for his turn. But many women pushed past him. So after half an hour, he was still far from the salesmen and his lunch hour was coming to the end, so he decided to change his way of doing this and pushed to the front of the line. The women after him became angry and shouted at him, “Why can’t you behave like a gentleman?” “Ladies,” he answered, “I have been behaving like a gentleman for the past half an hour, but it is no use, so now I am starting to behave like a lady.”
