We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was of flowers inside! the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.

  It stood outside a furniture(家具)shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack(车顶架). I’ve always wanted like that.”

  What could I do? Ten minutes I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy .

  As it was darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

  After a time my wife said, “There a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake(超车)?”

  Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two police officers looked at us seriously when they went past. then, with kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy . The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

  “Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”

  I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve very kind. I live just down the road.”

  He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was else.”

  My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.”
