A real life Comedy of Errors

So I forgot the correction pen at home, and went to the Food City(a super market) in Galle. I was going to Colombo the capital city for the national tourist guide license course as you already know.
There were no correction pens at the Food City, and I continued my search. Vijitha Yapa(a well known bookshop) didn't have it either, and I pressed on with my search. Ultimately I found one in a bookshop on a by-road, purchased it, and I was about to put the pen in my bag I would find that all this time I've been carrying someone else's bag! I had switched it at the Food City bag counter. Quickly I hailed a trishaw and went back to the Food City to find that the owner of the bag, a girl, was taken to the security office to check CCTV. She was a nice girl, we all had a hearty laugh at the error, and exchanged pleasantries, and went our separate ways.
It wasn't over yet! I had put the correction pen I bought in her bag!
Without further delay I went to Colombo having parted from 460 rupees-300 for trishaw and 160 for the pen, and having wasted an hour or so walking across half of the Galle city, still without a correction pen.
At Colombo I bought a correction pen for 80 rupees.

Okay, what is a correction pen and how is it used?

Yeah you use it to white out pen-strokes.
It came here as Tipex long ago, and people still call any brand "Tipex."
It's same about rubber slippers (flip flops). The earliest ones were a brand called "Bata" and the majority of people still call any kind of flip flops"Bata."
