Question

   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 the time. You 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 2 ： 00 and 3 ： 00 in the morning.

   Some very strange things happened late at night. The other 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 key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through a window.

   I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell without answering,I decided to find out what was going on. 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. She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about the dog and me!
