“I've been a taxi driver for nearly ten years.Most London taxi drivers have their own taxis.”

“It's a nice job most of time.I can meet a lot of people.I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day.I live twenty miles outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon.”

“I usually go home between two o'clock and three o'clock in the morning.”

“Some very strange things happened late at night.One day I was taking a woman home from a party.She had her little dog with her.When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her keys.So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the window.”

“I waited and waited.After half an hour of ringing the bell, I decided to find out what was happening.I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window.The next thing I knew was that the police came.They thought I was a thief.” “Luckily the woman came downstairs(下樓).She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!”
