We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On 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 one like that . "

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

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

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

Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past . But then , with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂) . One of the offices 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 been very kind. I lived just down the road. "

He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. "Well, Well, " he said and laughed . "It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there ! We thought it was-er, something else . "

My wife began to laugh . Suddenly I understood why 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 .
