As they walked, the rain started to come down harder, and the second woman was struggling to keep up. She slipped and slid on the wet pavement, almost falling a few times. The first woman tried to help her but ended up getting tangled up in her own umbrella.
Just as they were about to give up and head back, they saw a man running towards them. He was dressed in a black suit and carrying a briefcase.
"Excuse me," he said, "I need your help. My boss is waiting for me with an important file, and I've lost my phone. Can you please lend me yours so I can call him and let him know I'm on my way?"
The two women looked at each other skeptically but decided to help him out. The first woman reached into her purse and pulled out her phone, but as she handed it to the man, her umbrella flew out of her hand and hit him in the face.
He stumbled backward, dropping the phone and briefcase, which opened and spilled papers all over the sidewalk. The second woman, still struggling to keep up, slipped and fell right into the pile of papers, scattering them even further.
The three of them tried to pick up the papers and phone, but the rain made them slippery, and they kept dropping everything. People passing by on the street stopped to stare, wondering what was going on.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally managed to gather everything up and get the man's phone back to him. He thanked them and ran off, leaving the two women standing there, soaking wet and covered in paper.
They looked at each other and burst out laughing, realizing how ridiculous the whole situation was. They decided to call it a night and head home, with a newfound appreciation for the challenges that come with a rainy night stroll in the city.
