I read "The Big Bag Mistake" written by John Escott.
Gisela lives in Rio de Janeiro. In her vacation, she spend in London. One day, she puts her clothes and a manuscript into a travel bag, and she ride an airplane to go home.
Ricardo is a student, and he lives in Rio de Janeiro. He ride an airplane to go home, too. He find a pretty girl near his seat. She is Gisela. He tries very hard to attract her attention. First, he falls his bag on her. Second, he talks about his vacation in London(, but she doesn't hear). Next, he asks about her. She is annoyed. She says "I like quiet people!" He stops talking, and he sleeps. However, his head falls onto Gisela's shoulder. She breathes a sigh.
Many hours later, the airplane arrives at Rio de Janeiro airport. They wait for their bags. Gisela's bag is blue, and she find her bag faster than Ricard. "Good! Ricard can't follow me!" she thinks. She quickly takes the bag and leaves the airport. However, she takes Ricard's bag!
Ricard notice she takes his bag. He run after Gisela, and he find her on the bus. "Wait!" he calls, but the bus doesn't stop.
Gisela sleeps in a bus, because she is tired by long journey. A thief rides the bus. When the bus stops, he takes the bag and run. Gisela wakes up and look running man with blue bag outside. "Stop! Stop the bus! The man has my bag!" she shouts, and bus stops. She runs up and down the streets of Rio, but she can't find thief. "My manuscript in the bag. Months and months of work! I can't start again..." she thinks.
She walks home to her apartment building. Ricard is waiting for her at the door! "What do you want, Ricard? Oh! Is that my bag" she says. Ricard says "I have your bag and you have... Where is my bag?" "Oh! I'm sorry. A thief has your bag!" He laughs and says "and the thief can have my old shirts and jeans! It's a big mistake!" She smiles at him. She has a question. "But how..." "How do I know your address?" he says before her. "It's on the label. You read books, Gisela. I read labels!"
When I read middle of story, I dislike Ricard. I thought he is a play boy. However, he has some fine qualities! Actually, he is a nice guy! I wonder their relations in the future! I think their story start at the end of this story.
