One good turn deserves another
One evening Green was driving along a lonely country
toad, He (draw) £100 from his bank in London, and he
(put) it in his pocket before he began his journey.
At the loneliest part of the road, a man in badly-fitting
clothes stopped him.
‘Can I come with you to the next town?" the man asked.
‘Yes,’ Green said. ‘Get in.’ And he drove on.
As he talked to the man, Green learned-that he (be) in
prison for robbery and (break out) of prison two days
before. Green was very worried at the thought of the £100
that he (put) in his pocket. Suddenly he saw a police car
and had an idea. He just (reach) a small town where the
speed limit 'was 30 miles an hour, He pressed down the
accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He
looked back and saw that the police car {see} him and
(begin) to chase him. After a mile or so the police car
overtook him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out
and came to Green's car.
Green (hope) that he could tell the policeman about the
escaped robber, but the man took a gun out of his pocket
and put it to Green's back. The policeman took out his
notebook and pencil and said he wanted Green's name and
address.‘Can't I come with you to the police station?’ Green
asked. But the policeman said, “No, [ want your name and
address now. You will have to appear at the police station
later."
So Green gave the policeman his name and address. The
policeman wrote it down, put his notebook and pencil back
in his pocket and gave Green a talk about dangerous
driving,
Green started up his car again and drove on. He (give up)
all hope of his £100 but suddenly the passenger said he
wanted to get out. Green stopped the car; the man got out
and said, ‘Thanks for the ride. You've been good to me.
T'd like to give you this in return,’ And he handed Green
the policeman’s notebook.
While the policeman was talking to Green, the thief
(steal) the notebook.
