Riding a Bike
Mr Holland drove to work in a car every day. When he was 40, he was fat and very soft, and he didnot wish to get fatter and softer every year. One day one of his friend said to him: "Would you like to be thinner, Fred?" "Of course, I would." Mr Holland answered. "Well." his friend said, "Stop going to your office by car and get a bicycle." Mr Holland hadnot ridden a bicycle for many years. "It's very dangerous to ride a bicycle again at your age." His wife said. But he bought a bicycle for his birthday and practice to riding every evening. He hoped that it would help him get thinner and he got a lof of pleasure from practice. Then, he began to go to his office on his bicycle. Sometimes all the car stopped at red light and he went past them to the front because his bicycle was small. He was very happy. Yesterday, he stopped at a red light, and a man came up behind him on another bicycle. He stopped too and asked Mr Holland, "Have the police taken your driving license away too?"
