July 16th was a bad day for Arthur Johnson. In the morning, he set off from his home in Santa Barbara, California. It was the start of his summer holidays, and he decided to visit his friends at Las Vegas. Then he hoped to go fishing at Lake Mead.

Johnson’s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car was broken and he tried to repair it, but he failed. He telephoned a workshop to ask it to send a tow truck (拖车) to pull the car away and repair it.

When waiting for the tow truck, he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, a tow truck arrived from San Pedro and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody stole(偷,盗) his car. Unwillingly, he started to walk back towards San Pedro, but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert. Johnson looked like a man wanted in California for robbery(抢劫), so the police kept him at San Pedro for the night.

At last, Johnson’s friends came from California the next day. They proved(证明) that Johnson was not a harmful salesman(销售员), so they let him go.
