The man of the house finally took all the disabled umrellas to the repairer's. Two days later, on his way to his office, when he got up to leave the street car, he absentmindedly laid hold of the umbrella belonging to a woman beside him, for he was in the habit of carrying one. The woman cried "Stop thief!" rescued her umbrella and covered the man with shame and confusion.
The same day, he stopped at the repairer's and received all eight of his umbrellas duly repaired. As he entered a street car, with the unwrapped unbrellas tucked under his arm, he was horrified to behold glaring at him the lady of his morning adventure. Her voice came to him charged with a withering scorn:
"Huh! Had a good day, didn't you!"



It is sad to see people squandering money and know you cannot help them.
