10.Alan Tong was the worst driver in town.He had an accident of some kind almost every week.
Alan lived with his mother.His mother was always worried about him.Every day she worried that police would appear to arrest him.This wasn't a foolish worry because they usually visited Alan's house about once a week to send a speeding ticket or to serve him notice to appear in court(法庭).
Most of his accidents were caused by his carelessness.He drove through red lights.He turned left or drove at night without proper lights.He overtook other cars on hills.In short,there wasn't a traffic rule that Alan had not broken,and he had had so many accidents that it was a surprise that he was still alive.But luckily for Alan,he had never hurt anyone in his accidents or even gone to the hospital.
   Although Alan wasn't popular with the police,he was very popular with his lawyer.Alan's lawyer,Mr.Tsui,had earned a lot of money from Alan's cases and always felt very excited when he saw Alan coming into his office.
   One day Alan was working in the garage,painting his car when his mother walked in."What are you doing?"his mother asked.
"Painting my car,"Alan replied.
"I can see that,"his mother said,"but why are you painting one side of the car red and the other side blue?""Because every time I have to go to court for a traffic crime,there are always two witnesses (目击证人)."What color was the car?"the judge always asks,and the two witnesses always give the same answer.Well,in the future,one witness will say it was blue.Mr.Tsui will then say to the judge,"Your honor,the witnesses cannot even agree on th e color of the car involved in the accident."And the judge will have to dismiss the case against me.

Michelle McCarron
Kids find wonder in the simplest things,so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments.The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph.Frame your subject well.Get close to the action,or your subject,and choose your angle carefully.A slightly odd angle can make a photo different.
