It was very cold. It snowed heavily and blew very strongly. It was not a good night to go out. But David had to walk home from work "I can be warmer," he thought, "I wear my coat backwards①."He took off his coat and put it on backwards. "That's much better." He thought and walked on. About ten minutes later a car hit him. The driver stopped his car and got out of it. He ran to help David.

Soon a police car arrived. The policeman ran to look at David. "I'm afraid he's dead." The policeman told the driver.

The driver could not believe it. "He can't be dead." He cried, "I did not touch him. Look at my car. There is not a mark②on it.""He's dead." The policeman said again."I don't understand it. "The driver said," As soon as I hit him. I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood③.""Did you touch him?" The policeman asked."Yes," The driver said, "but I only turn his head around the right way."

There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can't work all that time. We need a holiday. Let's say we have three weeks' holiday. We don't work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember that we get 2 days' holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours' lunch every day, and half an hour's coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!
