问题    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 (柜橱) outside a furniture shop.

   My wife began to laugh. 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.  [br] The police will be more polite to those who are
