I was asked to have a dinner party at the biggest restaurant in my hometown - Richmond today. I was very busy, so I had no time to change for dinner. Then I drove there as soon as possible. But when I came in, no one saw me and gave me a seat. I got angry. Then I went back home, put on my best clothes. At about nine o'clock, I returned again.

This time, everyone stood up at once and said "hello" to me. And I was taken to the best table and the best food. I got much angrier. I took off my coat, put it on the food and said: "Please eat, my dear coat." They were very surprised and asked, "Why are you doing this?" I said, "________."
