When Mrs. Green retired from her job in a big city, she went to live in an attractive village out in the country, and began to go into the nearest town every Saturday to buy food. She tried several stores and finally chose the most convenient one and began to shop there regularly every week.
After she had visited the store several times, the cashier began to recognize her and to smile and say, "Good morning, Mrs. Brown," whenever she came to pay for the things she had bought.
At first Mrs. Green didn't mind this, but after a few weeks, she said to the cashier one Saturday, "Excuse me, but my last name's Green, not Brown." The cashier smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm sorry.
