One summer afternoon it was very hot. Mr. Jackson felt tired and thirsty. He stopped by a bar on the side of the road and had a rest. One of his friends saw his truck and asked him to drink. He agreed and they drank a lot. And he didn’t stop at the crossing when the lights were red. A policeman tried to stop him. But he drove faster and soon they found him in the factory and they knew everything. He was nearly sent away for it. He was very sorry after that and promised he wouldn’t drink any longer when he was at work.

One day, on his way home, he met an old friend of his and they were both happy and drank much. When he got home, his wife was angry but she didn’t say anything and helped him to go to bed. The next morning she said, “You drank a lot again last night!”

“Who told you about that?” Mr. Jackson called out. “I didn’t drink at all!”

“But you told me about it yourself!”

“Can you believe what a drunk(醉汉) says?”
