Solution:
A Feather in Cap
Mr. Stephen has a very peculiar sense of dressing. This often causes Mrs. Stephen quite an
embarrassment. She tries to be polite but sometimes it is just unbearable. Yesterday, Mr.
Stephen was invited to an official party. He decided to go for shopping. She accompanied him,
but much to her dismay, Mr. Stephen chose a very bright colored, checkered jacket. Not only, it
seemed childish, but it was almost twice the size of Mr. Stephen. He was so proud of his choice
that he overlooked her disapproving gaze. It was a ridiculous sight; but his confidence infuriated
her more. She couldnt resist saying, Ignoring the color, for one moment!
But Mr. Stephen trusted his dressing sense and decided to buy the jacket. She knew that the
jacket would be another feather in his cap!
