Answer:
<em>A Slight Misunderstanding </em>is a light-hearted story by J B Boothroyd where he gives several instances of misunderstanding that occurs between the narrator, a farmer and his wife.
The story begins on a Saturday when the narrator just bought groceries and also there is a mention about a small black car he recently acquired but he mistakenly enters his car and finds a woman's handbag in the chair because she carelessly left it in his car.
He thinks he entered a wrong car because he attracts the attention of the farmer's dog and also the handbag he saw in the car. But eventually he sees the address of his house on the dog's collar.
He gets to the farmer's house and returns the bags and explains his confusion at first but realized he was in the right car when he checked the plate number. The farmer apologizes for his wife's carelessness and offers him a cup of coffee and they both have a good laugh about it.
Another similar case occurred after a social visit with his wife and when they go back to their car, they realized they have really gotten into the wrong car because of the different things in the car.

Explanation:
An introductory phrase is like a clause, but it doesn’t have its own subject and verb; it relies on the subject and verb in the main clause. It sets the stage for the main part of the sentence. When you use an introductory phrase in your writing, you’re signaling to the reader that the central message of the sentence is yet to come.
Introductory clause: After the meeting was over, the staff was exhausted. Introductory phrase: While getting ready for bed, Susan heard a knock at the door.
There are several types of introductory phrases, including prepositional phrases and appositive phrases. Sometimes a comma is necessary after an introductory phrase. Other times, the comma is optional, and there are also times when a comma should not be used.
It is important to note that a comma should always be used if the sentence could be misinterpreted otherwise.
