2
a car,no suggestion of headlights,but there I sat,
3

I started wondering

I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of

(catch)by the police,because there was obviously no cop anywhere around and

Just then an old man who was

,saw him,and asked him what was the matter.The clerk didn,t want to

the secret with him,so he refused to tell him anything.But the old man could see the clerk was
