The only problem is that your suitcase was lost in transition and you still haven’t gotten it back, so now you have nothing appropriate for the formal ceremony. It’s time to go shopping in Germany! You find a cute German boutique that carries just your style of dress. As you walk into the boutique, a German sales associate approaches you and asks to assist you. You reply in German, “I am just looking.” The German associate walks off, but returns a moment later with two dresses, replying in German, “These would suit you well.” You hesitate because the dresses are not what you are looking for, but maybe the sales associate was just trying to be nice, so you take them.
