        Mr. Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office, so he was able to drive home every day for
lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars were parked outside his house and there was no
room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he had to walk back home. This
made him very angry.
        He had put up a board, which said, "No parking in the garden facing the road,"but nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey (遵守) only a police notice with white letters on a blue board: 
                                              
        Mrs. Brown suggested (建議)that he should steal a police notice. He was afraid to do so. She then
suggested that he should make one just like a police notice. He said he was not the police and couldn't use the
word "police". Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters: 
                                              
       "Oh,"Mrs. Brown said, "You told me you weren't going to use the word "police", but why do you use it
now?" "Really?"he asked, looked at it again.
        She started to laugh, "You are really clever."
