Lesson 51 Mother Knows best
Yesterday Gretel ant on an excursion with the Clarks. Mother was driving so that she could get some practice and father as sitting beside her. He wasn't always very helpful! "We must get on to the A3," he said. "That's the road which will take us to the south coast." Neither mother nor father knew the way to the A3 so they had to stop to ask a policemen.
"Excuse me," mother said. "Could you please tell me the way to the A3?"
"Yes, madam," the officer said. "Take the first turning on your right and continue along the road till you come to a cinema. Turn left at the cinema and go straight on. This will bring you to the A3."
"Thank you, officer," mother said.
Mother drove on, but she didn't turn right. "We're going in the wrong direction," father cried. " Why didn't you turn right? If you had turned right back there, we would have come to the A3."
"Oh, be quiet, Jim." mother said. "That policeman made a mistake, If I had turned right back there. I would have been in serious trouble. It was a one-way street!" |
