A man who had been going out with a young woman came to call on her one night carrying a little box in his pocket. At what he judged to be the right time, he pulled out the box, opened it and showed his beloved an engagement ring with her name engraved inside. “I want you to be my wife,” he said.
“I don't know how to tell you this,” she replied, “but I loved another.”
“Tell me his name!” the suitor demanded.
“No, no,” she shouted. “Do you want a fight?”
“No,” shouted back the man. “I just want to sell him this ring.”
