We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was
of flowers inside!
the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.
It stood outside a furniture（家具）shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack（車頂架）. I’ve always wanted
like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes
I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy
.
As it was
darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let
through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There
a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake（超車）?”
Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two police officers looked at us seriously when they went past.
then, with
kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy
. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”
I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve
very kind. I live just down the road.”
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers,
at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was
else.”
My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood
the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.”
