“85th story”
First published: April, 04, 2019
In a shopping centre, Hilda pointed to two purses and asked Tom: “Which one should I choose?”
Tom: “I like them both.”
Tom was sitting in a chair, and had no knowledge about lady’s purses; to him, they were all the same. Hilda and Tom were in that shop for an hour, the sales-person kindly recommended the blue purse for the 10th time. Tom was really tired, and just wanted to leave.
Hilda compared the white purse with the blue one again, their prices were the same but the white purse was bigger. Hilda finally bought the blue purse and they walked out of the store towards the train station.
On the way, Hilda said: “I should have bought the white purse. It goes with more clothes. I can’t wear a blue purse with a red or green dress, can I?”
Tom said: “If you didn’t like it, why did you buy it? Give it to me, I will run to the store and exchange it for you.”
Hilda: “But our train will leave within 18 minutes.”
Tom: “Give me my ticket. If I don’t make it, you go and I will catch the next one.”
Tom ran towards the shopping centre but in the main intersection, instead of turning right, he ran to the left by mistake.
He noticed that everyone was staring at him and that was very strange. A policewoman stopped Tom and said: “Why are you running with a lady’s purse?”
Tom: “I am going to the shopping centre to exchange it for my wife.”
Policewoman: “The shopping centre is on the right. Show me your receipt.”
Tom looked everywhere, but he couldn’t find the receipt.”I swear I had a receipt.”
Policewoman continued: “I will follow you to the store to see if you are telling the truth.”
Tom walked with the policewoman, towards the shopping centre. They got to the store, and the policewoman asked the salesperson if Tom bought this purse?
The kind salesperson said: “Absolutely.”
Tom said: “I would like to exchange it to the white purse please, while the policewoman left.”
There was a woman buying a black purse and the salesperson had to take her first.
Tom said: “Please I will lose my train.”
The customer said: “I am late too; I have to go home to make dinner.”
The salesperson said: “I have 8 white purses at this price. Do you remember which one your wife liked?”
To Tom, they all looked alike. He tried so hard to remember which one it was, and finally picked the right one and asked for a shopping bag so that the police wouldn’t mistake him for a thief again.
Tom still had 6 minutes left and ran to the train station, but he got on the opposite side by mistake. He had to run across a stair-bridge to get to the correct side and he only had 2 minutes left. He ran so fast up the stairs and finally jumped into the train and the train left the station a second after that.
Tom sighed and said: “Thank goodness I got here on time.”
Hilda opened the bag and screamed: “This isn’t my white purse!!!”
Dear friends;
Don’t forget to read my books.<3<3<3
Nice. Keep up.
Thanks dear for reading, appreciate your comment.
Loved it 🙂
Thanks Sunith dear, you are very kind.
Hahaha, this one is really interesting.
Appreciate your visit sweetheart.
Thank you 🙏😇❤️
🤗😍
Hilarious. No good deed goes unpunished. Poor husband.
My daughter said: “She was annoying.” Hahahahaha
Thanks dear for reading and commenting.
I agree with your daughter.
Poor Tom, LOL.
After all bad things Tom went through, he didn’t deserve to purchase the wrong 👜. But frankly Hilda was an annoying wife, LOL.
Love you.❤️
Liked the story, made me laugh, about bringing it back for you, if you don’t like, but the train coming😁running with purse, happens thought😁
LOL, thanks so much dear, you are lovely.
Always up for a great story❤️
Appreciate it, dear.
Perhaps she should just use the shopping bag.
LOL, hehehehehe. You are absolutely right. Thanks for your kind visit.
Some ladies are difficult, aren’t they?!! 😜
Unfortunately we can’t deny, LOL. She was more than difficult, hehehhehe. Thanks sweetheart for your kind visit.
Haha!!! That poor man! He probably should’ve stayed home that day! Lol. Loved this story, Laleh! Absolutely a pleasure to read. 😄❤️
LOL, yes he should have. Thanks sweetheart, you are very kind. Appreciate your visit.
You’re very welcome!
🤗❤️
At least he made his train!
😂😂😂, poor Tom.
Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.
the lesson here is to insist on buying her both. that way she has more than one option and you don’t miss the train nor get into a situation where you look like a purse snatcher.
😂😂😂, we never looked at it this way. You must be a great husband to your wife.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful words Jim.❤️
wife????
Sorry my bad. Got confused.❤️❤️❤️
Oh these ladies 🙄 and poor husband ☺️ Loved it 💕
Thanks dear so much for reading and commenting, appreciate your kindness.❤️
Haha, lovely story Laley!
Thanks dear, you’re so kind.❤️
Oh no 🤦🏽♂️
😂😂😂now probably you don’t want to get married ever😂😂😂
Too late haha.
🤣🤣🤣
Marry
thank you for the laugh, it is so good for the soul. 🙂
Sorry for the late response, your comment was in the spam. I just saw it.
Poor distressed man, he did try; many husbands would not.
LOL, yeah good and patient husband, Thanks dear for reading and commenting, means a lot.
Always a pleasure
❤️
How frivolous we women can be!
LOL, can’t disagree Rosaliene. We could be a pain most of the times, hehehehe. Appreciate your visit dear.
Very well-written! I felt Tom’s boredom, then ran with him, felt relieved to finally get the purse and train, and felt soooo irritated at Hilda!
Hehehehehehe, so are so amazing. Appreciate your kindness dear Jaya.
You at it again Laleh Chini….beautiful narration.
You are so very kind dear. Appreciate your support.
Anytime dear.
❤️
Poor Tom…hahaha….I enjoyed the story!
Thanks so much dear for your kind comment, appreciate you reading my posts.❤️
Always a pleasure.
❤️
It’s good how a man knows what he wants. Even buying a purse will cause trouble as it is uncertain.
Thanks for reading dear, appreciate your kindness.❤️
🙂
Brilliant!👏👏
Thanks dear so much for your kind visit.❤️
I like the story, really.
Thanks Roy means a lot.❤️
Haha.. She is really so annoying. Poor husband!!
LOL, totally agree. Appreciate you reading and commenting dear.
I can think of someone I know that could very well be the woman in your story.😉.
Loved the story.
Oh No, LOL. Poor that husband. Thanks so much dear for reading and commenting.
😀💜💜
السلام و علیکم
Ma’am your writings are great. May I have the honour to translate two of your writings in Urdu for my blog. 😻
Hi appreciate it, sure if you don’t mind mention my blog. Thank you
I would definitely mention your blog. It is the moral of translation.
Thank you so much for giving me permission.
God bless you.
My pleasure dear, very kind of you.❤️
Thanks 🌹
Thank you very much for another very interesting and so “teaching” story, Laleh! Excuse the very late revisit. Sometimes i think i should hire a secretary, but then there would be no work to do for me. Lol Have a beautiful weekend. Michael
Hi dear Michael. It is very kind of you to visit my blog even thought you are very busy. Best wishes dear.
Oh, no! What an ungrateful person!
LOL, wasn’t she? Some people have never have enough, hehehhe. Thanks dear.
Ma povero!
Thanks dear so much.
Great story Laleh. Any husband should be able to identify with it because I’m certain we have all been in the same spot, just with the wrong color and the right style of purse. Thanks following my writing. I am looking forward to reading more of yours.
Appreciate your kind words dear. Would be my pleasure.
Thanks dear so much.❤️
Hahah, oh dear. Tom sounds like quite a trooper going through all of that for the sake of a purse though! x
Lol, maybe that’s how he shows his love.😂😂😂
Appreciate your visit dear.❤️

OH DEAR…WHOSE PURSE IS IT?
Thanks for your kindness dear Jonathan.❤️
<3
This seems to me such an expression of our culture. We are all too often self-centered and materialistic, wholly unaware and unappreciative of the efforts of others on our behalf.
I absolutely agree, thanks so much sweetheart for reading and sharing your thoughts.❤️
Looks like he has not been married for long. He thought he could get the right one…
😂 another point of view Ankur dear, thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.❤️
🙏🙏🙏

Poor Tom. Sometimes it’s better just to keep quiet lol
😂😂😂, we don’t mean it but sometimes we’re pain….😂😂😂❤️ Thanks Sean dear.
Ha ha — I’m still keeping quiet, Laleh.
That’s smart, my husband does the same.😂😂😂
The secret to a successful marriage. 😉
He knows 😂32 years 😂❤️❤️❤️
Some people can never be pleased so in such cases you might as well try to concentrate on pleasing yourself.
It takes a lot of effort to maintain a marriage, women should remember that too. Appreciate your visit dear.
Αhhh my poor Tom !!! Women lol!!!! A nice week ahead my Laleh!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you.❤️
🌺🌸🌷🌻🌹
🙏❤️😍

OMG! Imagine the look on poor Tom’s face!

Right?! 😂😂😂
Oh the pleasure is mine! ❤️

Thanks dear so much.❤️
Hilda jest osobą niezdecydowaną, sama nie wie, co jej się podoba. Dlaczego nie pomyślała wcześniej, że niebieska jej nie pasuje. Facet też mylił kierunki i drogę. Śmieszne.
Pozdrawiam
LOL, I know. Thanks so much. Appreciate your visit.
Oh, no. He is in trouble! 😊
😂😂😂😂poor Tom. Thanks for reading dear and sharing your thoughts.
…and that after all the trouble he went to…
Women.😂❤️
Oh no!!! What a great story!!! I was so hoping that through all of his trouble he had chosen the correct one; alas!!!
😂 He didn’t deserve It. Thanks so much sweetheart.❤️
Poor Tom, his wife sure had him… “trained!” 😊😉 A lovely story!
