One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.

He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.

You there! challenged a thrill voice. Can't you act like a gentleman?

Listen, he said, I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady.

一天，远东百货公司的女装大减价，一位高贵的中年男士想给太太买一件。可是，没过多久，他发现自己已被疯狂的女人冲得踉踉跄跄。

他竭力忍耐着。后来，他低下头，挥动双臂，挤过人群。

你干嘛？有人尖声叫道，你难道不能表现得象位绅士吗？

听着，他说，我已经象绅士一样表现了一个小时。从现在起，我要表现得象个女士。
