Caught!

It is the story of a resourceful young woman at a bazaar. Business was in full swing when a young man strolled around the various stalls, with no intention of purchasing anything. As he passed a large, beautifully decorated stall the young lady seller detained him.

“Won't you buy a cigarette holder, sir?” she asked.

“No thank you, I don't smoke,” was the curt reply.

“Or a pen wiper worked with my own hands?”

“I don't write.”

“Then do have this nice box of chocolates.”

“I don't eat sweets.”

The seller's patience was exhausted. “Sir,” she said grimly, “will you buy this box of soap?” The young man paid up.
