When Mr Jones went to a restaurant one day, he left his coat near the door.
There was nothing in the pockets of the coat when he left it, so he was very surprised when he took his coat after his meal and found the pockets full of jewellery!
There was a waiter near the door, so Mr Jones said to him, 'Somebody has made a mistake. He has put some jewellery in my coat. Take it, and when he comes back, give it to him.'
The waiter took it and went away. Suddenly another man came in with a coat just like Mr Jones's.
'I am sorry,' said this man. 'I made a mistake. I took your coat and you have got mine. Please give me my coat and jewellery.'
Mr Jones answered, 'I gave the jewellery to the waiter. He will give it to you.'
Mr Jones called the manager of the restaurant; but the manager said, 'We have no waiters here. We only have waitresses.'
'You gave the jewellery to a thief!' shouted the other man. 'I shall call the police!'
Mr Jones was frightened and paid the man a lot of money for the jewellery.
