We spent a day in the country picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow.“Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We'll carry it home on the roof rack. I've always wanted one like that.
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was $ 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on to the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There's a 1ong line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder?”
In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers in side looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said.“Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit puzzled.“Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers then at the cupboard “Well, well,”he said, laughing. “It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer.“Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
