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?'
