A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And four ducks’ feet could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks’ legs at once and said, “Whose is that bag?” Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, “I’ll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn’t be taken out of the country.” “Well, then,” said the small man with a fat stomach. “Hurry up and take it. We want to go home.” The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage(车厢).

At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, “I hope they’ll enjoy the ducks’ feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it.” Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. “I have the rest of the two ducks here,” he said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, “Hey, man! Foreign food mustn’t be brought in.”

　　It took George quite a while to find a place for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, some way from the dentist's (牙科医生). As he got out, he looked at his watch: he would meet the dentist at five and he still had twenty minutes. He crossed into the square (广场) and sat down in a chair, to enjoy the last of the afternoon sun, but also to make himself quiet. He hated these visits to the dentists.

　　As he sat there, watched the children at play and listened to the old women talking, he was surprised (惊奇的) to see a red car like his own come out of the street where he had parked. The car moved fast and soon disappeared (消失). George felt in his pockets for his keys: they were not there.

　　“My car!” he shouted in a loud voice (嗓音), which made several people look at him. He got up and ran across the square, then down the narrow street. His car was not to be seen? But then he found it was behind a large one. He was happy to find his keys, still in his car.

　　By the time he reached the dentist's, it was already after five. “A very strange thing happened to me,” he said to the dentist to explain (解释) why he was late. “I thought my car had been stolen (偷).”“It's quite all right, sir,” said the dentist. “In fact (实际上) I have only just got here myself.”
