embarassing situation
----today's topic at Voice
When I was 14 years old, I went to Osaka to see the World exposition with my family.
We enjoyed enough.
Three days after , we got on shinkansen to go back to Tokyo.
We had booked the seats in advance, so we sat in and relaxed.
Suddenly, some people came to us and said,"Excuse me, I guess these are our booked seats."
We replied,"No, It should be our seats."
We showed the tickets each other.
It was printed same booked seat number on each ticket.
What a trouble! It must be a mistake by national railway (now it is JR).
Then a guard of the train came to us and asked ,"What's happen?"
We complained about that situation.
At first, the guard sorryed us and took the others to the available seats .
Then he came again and compared two tickets carefully.
Before long, He said, " Your tickets are next train's ."
Oh
NO! We were sitting in wrong seats .
We were ashamed. I wanted the ground open and swallow me.
We had been ashamed during all the way to Tokyo.
