Mr Black worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for about twenty years before one
day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was very happy because he had never been there before. When he started, he asked his wife and daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs Black began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella(伞) for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. When he reached the station, he found his hands were dirty. He washed them and the drawing was gone.
On the train Mr Black sat opposite to an old woman. The woman's umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the
station in London, he said goodbye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.
“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “That's my umbrella!”
Mr Black stopped to look at his hands and his face turned red at once. He said in a hurry, “Oh, I'm
very sorry, madam! I didn't mean it!”
Seven days later Mr Black left the capital. It surprised the old woman that he sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with(对……满意) herself. She thought, “I'm
sure I was luckier than the other four women!”
