  Some time ago,a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn’t know very well invited me to call on him.It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car.As I was already three quarters of an hour late,I parked my car quickly.

At noon,just as I was leaving my friend’s office it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car.I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere!Walking down street after street,I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car.But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own,it belonged to someone else!Feeling quite tired now,I went off for lunch.Some time later,I left the restaurant and walked down the street.Turning the corner,I nearly jumped for joy:my car was right in front of me,and there was no problem this time.

To tell the truth,driving in a crowded city is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive.
