When Mr. Jones went to a restaurant one day, he left his coat near the door. There was nothing
in the pockets of the coat when he left it, so he was very surprised when he took his coat after his
meal and found the pockets full of jewellery!
There was a waiter near the door, so Mr. Jones said to him, 'Somebody has made a mistake.
He has put some jewellery in my coat. Take it, and when he comes back, give it to him.'
The waiter took it and went away.
Suddenly another man came in with a coat just like Mr. Jones. 'I am sorry,' said the man, 'I made
some mistake. I took your coat and you have got mine. Please give me my coat and jewellery.'

Mr. Jones answered, ‘I gave the jewellery to the waiter. He will give it back to you.’

Mr. Jones called the manager of the restaurant, but the manager said we have no waiters here.
We have only waitresses.
On hearing this, the other man was furious. He shouted and said ‘You gave the jewellery to a
thief.’ I shall send for the police. You are to blame.
