  A pretty, well-dressed young lady stopped a taxi in a big square (广场), and said to the driver, “Do you see that young man at the other side of the square?”“Yes,”said the taxi driver. The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds.

  “Take me over there,” said the young lady.

  There were a lot of cars and buses and trucks in the square, so the taxi driver asked, “Are you afraid to cross the street?”

  “Oh, no!”said the young lady, “But I said that I would meet that young man for lunch at one o'clock, and it is now a quarter to two. If I arrive in a taxi, it will at least seem as if I have tried not to be too late.”
