Using a bicycle
Mrs. Holland lives in a big city and she works in a shop. She went there by car every morning for twenty years. Then she was forty-five years old, and she said to herself, 'I'm fat and soft now, because I go everywhere by car. I'm going to buy a bicycle.'
She bought one, and after that, she always went to her shop on that, and not in her car. Sometimes all the cars stopped at a red light, and she went quickly past them to the front, because her bicycle was narrow.
Then she was happy.
Yesterday she stopped at a red light, and a man came up behind her on another bicycle. He stopped too and said, 'Have the police taken your driving licence away too?'
1. Does Mrs. Holland work in an office?
2. What did she say to herself after twenty years?
3. Did she buy anything then?
4. Did she go to her shop on it?
5. Where did she stop one day?
6. Who came up behind her then?
7. Did he stop too?
8. And what did he say to Mrs. Holland?
