I was in K-Mart．I had made an agreement with my grandchildren that every time I yelled at them，I'd buy them a gift costing at least ＄5．
    As I was looking down the row of toys，a gentleman came around the corner pushing a shopping cart．A woman in her forties backed up and he accidentally ran over her foot．
   "Look what you have done!" she screamed out．
   "I am very sorry，Ma'am．"
   The woman reached up and slapped the man as hard as she could．Then she grabbed a Barbie Doll box off the shelf and hit the man on the side of his face．The gentleman grabbed her by the arm to stop her．The woman began to scream．Within several seconds the aisle was crowded with people，as well as a department manager．
   "That man tried to sexually assault （騷擾） me and I hit him to protect myself，" she told the manager．
   The manager called the police．Before long the police showed up，handcuffed （上手銬） the man，and began walking him toward the front entrance．I followed the two officers．
   "Would you like to know what really happened？" I asked one of the officers．
   "We already have the facts from the woman who was assaulted．"
   "Do you want the true facts？"
   "I think you had best move on down the road．"
   Looking at the man，I yelled out， "When this is over，you sue （起訴） these men．I'm sure the entire incident is on video somewhere．"
   The police car stopped．The officer got out of the vehicle．
   "What's your version？" he asked me．
   In less than three minutes，I told the officer what had really happened．
   The police officer returned to his car and began talking with the other officer．The two of them opened their doors，took the man out of the car，and took off the handcuffs．They drove away．
    "Well，this has been quite a day，" said the man．
   I shook the man's hand．I said， "I want to go home now and write about what happened here．The ending is going to say that I shook the hand of a man who was a complete gentleman throughout a very trying situation．"
   He replied， "Actually，I am a Captain in the Army，stationed at Fort Hood Texas．"
   I will never forget the large smile on his face．
