As my train was not due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting. and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt did not seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and the railway tickets, money, scraps of paper, and photographs tumbled out of it: but no matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.
I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously as if to say he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown looking object no different from the many suitcases i could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me form and told me to make a list of the contents of the case.
After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. there were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moments. it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could easily have claimed the case already. Fortunately this had not happened, for, after a time, I found the case lying on its side high up in the corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant gave me the case.
I took out my wallet to pay him. I pulled out a ten shilling note and out slipped my ‘lost’ receipt with it! I could not help blushing. The assistant nodded his head knowingly as if to say that he had often seen this happen too !!

he had to collect his luggage
