Mr. Jones like being comfortable, so when he got in to a train, he always used to put his suitcase on the seat beside him an pretend that belonged to another passengers who had gone to buy something in the station.
One day he did this when the train was very crowed. Other passengers came and sat in all the other seats except the one which suitcase was lying on. Then an old gentleman arrived, looked at Mr. Jones's case and said, " is this somebody's seat?"
" Yes" answered Mr. Jones. " A friend of mine is travelling with me and he has gone to buy some cigarettes. He will return soon". Mr. Jones opened the window and looked out, to make the old gentleman think that he was anxious about his friend
"All right" said old gentleman, "I'll sit here until your friend comes back, and then I'll stand somewhere". He put the suitcase up above him and sat down. Mr. Jones did not feel happy about this, but he wasn't able to do or say anything, because all the other passengers where watching and listening.
Several minutes passed, the whistle blew, and the train began to move. Then the old gentleman suddenly and said, "I'm very sorry , but your friend seem to be separated from his suitcase, do we? I don't believe he would like that all," and before Mr. Jones was able to do or say anything to prevent him, he took his suitcase down and threw it out of window which Mr. Jones had opened
