Ms. Green was late for work because she waited for the delivery of a new brown chair. However, the delivery man brought the wrong green chair. The store manager laughed when he found Ms. Green's order because another customer, Mr. Brown, had ordered a green chair and received Ms. Green's brown chair by mistake. That evening, Ms. Green offered to help Mr. Brown with his chair issue since the store was now closed.

Today Ms. Green was very late for work. She waited for the delivery of
her new chair. But the delivery man brought the wrong chair. Ms.
Green called the store manager.
-"I ordered a brown chair," she said, "not green!"
-"Don't be angry," said the manager. "We all make mistakes, don't
we?"
-"Some people make bigger mistakes than others!" Ms. Green
answered.
The manager found her order.
-"Ha," he laughed. Another customer, Mr. Brown, ordered a green
chair and got your chair instead. Isn't that funny?"
-"No, it isn't. I want my chair. I paid enough money for it," said Ms.
Green. "Come to the store now and get a different chair," he said.
But Ms. Green went to work instead. After work, she
went to the store, but it was already closed. A
handsome young man was also there.
-"I'm late," he said. "Now I have to wait until
tomorrow for my green chair."
-"Are you Mr. Brown?" she asked. "Yes, but ... "
-"I can help you with your chair," said Ms. Green.
And she smiled for the first time that day.
