One Sunday night, it is quite dark when old Stanley goes for his walk. He is walking along the sidewalk. He sees a white car coming around the corner quickly. It is going too fast and crashes into(撞上) a red car in the street. He runs up to the cars to have a look. But no one needs help.

The two drivers are arguing(争论).

“You come around the corner too fast,” one man says.

“No!” says the driver of the white car, “That’s not true! Your car is in a wrong place.”

Stanley listens to them and then says the white car driver is wrong to drive too fast. The driver of red car asks Stanley to help him in court(法庭). Stanley gives the driver his name and telephone number.

On Thursday morning, Stanley goes to the court. The lawyer(律师) of the driver of the white car asks him a lot of questions. Then he asks Stanley how old he is.

“I’m eighty-two,” answers Stanley.

“Do you usually wear glasses?” asks the lawyer.

“Yes, I do,” answers Stanley.

“Are you wearing them on the night of the accident(事故)?” the lawyer asks.

“No,” answers Stanley.

Then the lawyer says, “How can the court believe(相信) you? You are eighty-two years old, you are not wearing your glasses, and it is night. How far can you see at night?”

Stanley thinks about it for a minute. “Well,” he says, “when it’s night, I can see the moon. How far is that?”
