Now write a summary of the given passage:
Then he would spring round the room, looking for his handkerchief. He could not find his handkerchief, because it was in the pocket of the coat he had taken off, and he did not know where he had put the coat. All the house had to leave off looking for his tools, and start looking for his coat; while he would dance round and hinder them.
Answer
So, there’s this person who keeps losing things. One time, he’s searching for his handkerchief, but it’s actually in the coat he took off earlier. Problem is, he can’t remember where he put the coat. So now, instead of everyone looking for his tools, they’re all searching for his coat because he’s making a fuss about it, dancing around and getting in the way.
