We spent a day in the country and picked1 a lot of flowers. Our car was2 full of flowers inside4! On the way home we had5 to stop at traffic6 lights, and there my wife7 saw8 the bookshelf9.

 It stood10 outside a furniture11(家具)shop. “Buy it,” she said12 at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof13-rack14(车顶架). I’ve always wanted one like that.”

 What could15 I do? Ten minutes later16 I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow17, quite heavy too.

 As3 it was getting darker18, I drove19 slowly20. Other drivers seemed21 more polite22 than usual23 that evening. The police25 even24 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 overtake26(超车)?”

 Just at that time a police car did27 overtake. The two officers29(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 church30(教堂). One of the officers came31 to me.

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

 I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer28,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live 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 got32 there! We thought33 it was--er, something else.”

 My wife began to laugh. Suddenly34 I understood35 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.
