After a time my wife said,“There’s a long line of cars   10  . Why don’t they pass us, I wonder?”In fact a police car did pass. The two officers inside   11   us seriously as they passed. But then with great kindness, they   12   us through the rush hour traffic. The police car stopped   13   our village church. One of the officers came to me. “Right, sir,” he said. “  14 need any more help?” I was a bit   15  . “Thanks, officer,” I said.“You have been very kind. I live   16   beside the road.”

Then he   17   our car; first the flowers, then the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was   18   else.”

My wife began to laugh. Then the   19   struck me like a stone between the eyes. I laughed at   20 . “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks.” I drove as fast as I could, still thinking over this funny experience.
