We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack(行李架), I’ve always wanted one like that.
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 2 0 pounds poorer, and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack. It was six inches long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?
In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. 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?
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.
He was staring at our car: first at the flowers, and then at the cupboard. “Well, well, he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was, something else.
My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again. I drove home as fast as I could.
