One day while trying on a costume in a fashion store, a customer who wanted to appear in front of the public in beautiful clothes at a Shakespearean ball began to complain that he didn’t feel as he would have liked. The costumer said that the client resembled a living picture, but he did not agree with such an opinion. The disgruntled man said that the tuxedo chosen for him absolutely does not match the character of one of Shakespeare’s characters — Iago. Sales assistant in response, said that in this case, it is not possible to wear the chosen suit, as Iago has no character.

The aforementioned arguments of the costumer caused dissatisfaction from the visitor, but in defense of the first, unexpectedly for both men stood up the spirit of Shakespeare, who began to talk to them with the help of his own bust. After a while, the bust accidentally fell and shattered.
