Mr. Smith was a traveling salesman and was always careful to mark his luggage so that no one would mistakenly take his bags. He used bright ribbons and tape, so he was quite surprised to see his bags grabbed by a well-dressed man.

Mr. Smith pointed out the coloured ribbons tied to the handle and the fluorescent tape on the sides.

“Were your bags marked like this?” he asked.

“Actually,” the man replied, “I was wondering who did this to my luggage.”
