The story is told of four people who
shared a berth in a train going from Paris to
Madrid: a beautiful young woman traveling with her
grandmother, and a handsome young army lieutenant
who was with his commanding officer.
On the way the train passed through
a tunnel, and the train became pitch black.
Suddenly, in the darkness there was
a sound of a kiss followed by a slap. When the
train emerged from the tunnel, the four sat stone
faced as if nothing had happened.
The beautiful young woman thought to
herself, "That was a wonderful kiss, but my
grandmother must have slapped his face and he
probably thinks I did it and he won't pay attention
to me again."
The grandmother thinks, "That's a
fresh thing for that man to kiss my granddaughter.
I'm sure glad she stood up for herself, I'm sure it
will teach him a lesson."
The commanding officer thought,
"This is terrible, she must have thought that I was
the one who kissed her, wait until I get back to the
base, I'm really going to give my lieutenant a piece
of my mind."
And the handsome young lieutenant
thought, "This was my day. I got to kiss a beautiful
woman and slap my boss and get away with both."
