　　It took George quite a while to find a place for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, some way from the dentist's (牙科醫(yī)生). As he got out, he looked at his watch: he would meet the dentist at five and he still had twenty minutes. He crossed into the square (廣場(chǎng)) and sat down in a chair, to enjoy the last of the afternoon sun, but also to make himself quiet. He hated these visits to the dentists.

　　As he sat there, watched the children at play and listened to the old women talking, he was surprised (驚奇的) to see a red car like his own come out of the street where he had parked. The car moved fast and soon disappeared (消失). George felt in his pockets for his keys: they were not there.

　　“My car!” he shouted in a loud voice (嗓音), which made several people look at him. He got up and ran across the square, then down the narrow street. His car was not to be seen? But then he found it was behind a large one. He was happy to find his keys, still in his car.

　　By the time he reached the dentist's, it was already after five. “A very strange thing happened to me,” he said to the dentist to explain (解釋) why he was late. “I thought my car had been stolen (偷).”“It's quite all right, sir,” said the dentist. “In fact (實(shí)際上) I have only just got here myself.”
