Sure. A story about good manners could be that in a restaurant, a person always says 'please' and 'thank you' to the waitstaff.

Table manners include the following points: First, use the cutlery in the correct order and don't put the cutlery in the wrong position or way. Secondly, the sitting posture should be upright. Don't lean sideways, put your feet together, and keep your back straight. Speak gently at the dining table and don't make a racket so as not to disturb other diners. Taste the food with appropriate cutlery and do not drop it on the table or on the floor. Pay attention to the details of the dining table, such as not exposing your elbows, not pointing your chopsticks at others, not spitting out the food in your mouth, and so on. Don't do anything inappropriate at the table, such as burping, sneezing, coughing, picking your teeth, etc. In short, table manners were a way to show personal qualities and self-cultivation. Obeying etiquette could allow us to enjoy a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere while eating.
