"The Man with Two Left Feet, and Other Stories" by P. G. Wodehouse is full of funny short stories from the early 1900s. These stories are usually about mix-ups, love problems, and funny things that happen to not-so-perfect characters, like clumsy detectives and young guys who are head-over-heels in love. In one story, we meet Henry Pifield Rice, a detective who isn't very good at his job and is smitten with a chorus girl named Alice Weston. Henry's detective work isn't exciting; he mostly does boring things like following people. When he talks to Alice, he feels unsure about his job, especially because she doesn't like sneaky detectives. Even though she turns him down at first, Henry tries to win her over by becoming an actor, which leads to lots of funny and crazy situations as he gets caught up in the same world he was trying to investigate.

By P. G. (Pelham Grenville) Wodehouse
A bumbling detective, smitten with a chorus girl, hilariously tries to win her affection by trading his magnifying glass for the stage, only to find himself even more entangled in comical chaos.
