English Original
One day, during a women's dress sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to buy one for his wife. However, he soon found himself being jostled and battered by frantic shoppers.
He endured it as long as he could. Then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowd.
"You there!" challenged a shrill voice. "Can't you act like a gentleman?"
"Listen," he replied, "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."

一天，远东百货商店的女装特卖会上，一位体面的中年男子决定为妻子买一件衣服。然而，他很快发现自己被狂热的购物者们推挤冲撞。
他尽可能长时间地忍受着。然后，他低下头，挥舞着手臂，奋力挤过人群。
“喂，你！”一个尖利的声音质问道，“你就不能表现得像个绅士吗？”
“听着，”他回答，“我已经像一个绅士那样表现了一个小时。从现在起，我要像一位淑女一样行动了。”
