| Many years
ago, when I finished university, I began to look for a job. It
was difficult, because women were looked down upon at the
time. I applied for many jobs, but did not have any luck. As a
last resort, I pretended to be a man when I went to
interviews. It was easy to get a job as a man.
I quickly became the best designer in the company.
Actually, I was a top student when I studied.
One day, something unlucky happened. I had an accident
and my legs were badly hurt. I was immediately taken to a
hospital. The doctor asked me to remove my trousers. I refused
to do so. At last, after earnestly requesting that the doctor
keep my secret, I told him the truth.
Of course it was an impossible secret to keep. My boss
discovered the secret by phoning the hospital. It was time to
deal with my problem. I had to tell my story to my boss.
The next day, the managers held a meeting about me. They
discussed whether I could continue working there. Fortunately,
I was allowed to stay at the company because of my excellent
work. And it was unnecessary for me to pretend to be a man any
more!
