When the manager returned from lunch, he noticed his clerk’s hand wrapped in a thick bandage. Before he could ask, the clerk grinned. “Guess what, sir? I finally sold that awful pink-and-blue suit!”
The manager was thrilled—until he asked about the bandage. The clerk sighed. “The customer couldn’t see well… actually, he was blind. I helped him try on the suit, and when I handed him his cane, he thought I was stopping him from leaving—so he hit me with his umbrella.”
Two days later, the blind man proudly returned wearing the flashy suit. “Everyone said I looked unforgettable!” he beamed. Before leaving, he handed the clerk a gift box with sunglasses and a note: ‘For next time—so you can see a great opportunity coming.’
A week later, a fashion blogger featured the “bold retro suit,” and customers started asking for it. The manager laughed. “Guess even the ugliest things can have their moment.”
Moral: Sometimes your biggest mistake becomes your greatest success—especially if you keep your humor and stay open to surprises.
