Wrong Hand
One day, Lady Cempluk and Jon Koplo were shopping in a well-known shopping center in Solo. In the clothing store, Cempluk chose an appropriate stuff as a present. Jon Koplo and Lady Cempluk headed to the cashier, after she chose the right stuff. People were queue as no end, like queue to get into the cinema. Cempluk queue up first, while Koplo followed behind. However, since the cashier looked like a new employee, based on his black and white uniform that the intern usually wear, the long queue felt so long. Then Cempluk looked around for another cashier who deserted from the queue. Suddenly her eyes fixed to one of the cashiers who deserted of buyer. "Wow, there is a deserted cashier! Come on, let’s go there, Plo!" Said Cempluk while pulling Koplo s hand who stood behind her. But what happened? "Hey ... Miss, Miss! Where are you going? "Screamed someone that made Cempluk shocked. She turned and more shocked! Oh no! Apparently she pulled a hand of a fat man! After realizing it, apparently Koplo were not standing right behind Cempluk. Instead, there was a fat man standing before him.

Perhaps Cempluk chose an appropriate item, but "stuff" is not used that way.

To the OP: I have merged your two threads. I don't see why you've created another account just to post the same thing. In future, please be a little patient and wait for some replies.

Wrong Hand

I have decided this is a class assignment. Otherwise, why so many threads (3) about the same thing?

Students, did your teacher say it is okay to get help on the Internet?

I was misled. I didn't know this was a classroom assignment.

Do you know what that area is called where you pay for your purchases?

We are not supposed to do your homework for you. (Your teacher wants to see your work, not ours.)

If I am going to do your work for you I should get credit for it.
