A young man hurried into his town library. He went up to one of the old librarians and said to her eagerly. "Do you remember that you persuaded me to borrow a book about Greek history a week ago"

Peter was late. His seat in the theater was in the middle of one of the rows. Half the people in the row had to rise to let him pass, and he was embarrassed to cause so much trouble. Then when he was comfortably seated, he began to worry about .whether he had turned off the lights of his car. If he hadn’t, the battery would be run down by the time the show was over. Finally he could stand it no longer. Even more embarrassed than before, he stood up and began to move in front of the people.
"Excuse me, please. Excuse me," he said to each person as he passed. His lights were off. All his worry had been for nothing. When he returned to the theater, he felt he just couldn’t bother the people again and decided to stand at the back of the theater:, rather than ask them to rise third time.
