A

One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes.

Suddenly he saw two men running out of a building. He heard someone shouting, “Help! Help! Stop thief!” The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (沒有帶槍). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustn’t let the men escape, but how could he arrest them?

He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try.

He drove his car up to the men and stopped beside them. Then he put his head out of the window and asked, “Do you want a lift?”

“Yes, yes,” the men answered, and quickly got into his car. “Please take us to the railway station,” they told him.

“Very good,” the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, “But this isn’t the way to the railway station. Where are you going?” “I must go this way,” the police officer explained. “There’s a big fire and the traffic is held up. You don’t want to sit in a traffic jam, do you?”

“No, no,” the men agreed. “Please take us the quickest way.”
