A large notice in a shop
window in Lagos announced a big
sale, with sweeping
reductions, starting at 9
a.m. An enormous queue
had started to form by 7.30am
Just before the shop was
due to open, an
inconspicuous little man
walked to the head of the
queue. Angry women elbowed and pushed him
until he was right at the
back of the line.
Undaunted, the little man
went to the head of the
queue again. Once more, he was
shoved unceremoniously
to the back, this time with
a few smacks on the face
and a couple of thumps
from umbrellas wielded by angry women.
The little man walked to
one side of the queue and
said, "If that's your
attitude, I won't open the
shop at all today!"
