We spent a day in the country,picking wild flowers ．With the car full of flowers we were going home．On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard(柜厨) outside a furniture shop．It was tall andnarrow．“Buy it,”my wife said at once．“ We 'll carry it home on the roof rack(车顶)．I’ve always wanted one like that．”
What could I do?Ten minutes later I was￡20 poorer；and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack．It was six feet longand eighteen inches square,quite heavy too．
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly．Other drivers seemed unusually polite 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．I wonder?” In fact apolice car did overtake． The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed．But then,with great kindness,they led us through the rush-hour traffic． 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?”
I was a bit puzzled．“Thanks,officer,”Isaid．“You have been very kind．I live just on the road．”
He was staring(盯着看)at our car ,first at the flowers ,then at the cupboard．“Well,well,”he said,laughing．“It’s a cupboard you’ve got there!We thought it was something else．”
My wife began to．laugh． The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes．I smiled at the officer．“Yes,it’s a cupboard,but thanks again．”I drove home as fast as l could．
