Question

A pretty, well-dressed young lady stopped a taxi in a big square, and said to the driver, “Can you see that young man at the other side of the square?”

“Yes,” said the taxi-driver. The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds.

“Take me over there.” said the young lady.

There were a lot of cars and buses and trucks in the square, so the taxi-driver asked, “Are you afraid to cross the street?”
