“Where was it?” asked the sergeant.

“In Ecclesiastes Street, near the bridge, but I’ve brought it here,” answered the policeman. The sergeant opened the record book and began to write. When he reached the name of the street, he began to spell loudly: “E-C-L”. He looked at it for a few seconds, then crossed it out and wrote “E-C-K”. He was angry and said to the policeman, “Write the report yourself. I’m too busy now.”

The policeman had a try, too, but after a minute, he put his hat on and began to walk out slowly.

“Where are you going?” the sergeant asked.

“Back to Ecclesiastes Street,” answered the policeman.

　　Mr West had a big farm at the foot of the hill. His friend worked at the police station and often made the other farmers work for him. He never worked, but he could get much money.

　　Once two young men went to the forest from a city. They wanted to take their three-day holiday there. They walked in the forest in hope of shooting some animals. They waited and waited, at last they saw a hare(野兔) near a tree. They shot it and were very happy. But before they went out of the forest, Mr West stopped them and called out, “The forest is mine! All the animals here are mine, too. If you kill an animal again, I'll kill you!” With these words, he took the dead hare away. The two young men believed the forest was his. They said nothing and left.

　　Mr West was happy and was going to take the hare home. Suddenly he saw a large wolf behind him. He walked fast, it walked fast. He hurried off, but it followed him. He had to throw the hare to it, it ate the hare soon and then caught up with him again. He ran as quickly as possible. And when he was too tired to run further, he saw the two young men and shouted, “Please shoot the wolf!”

　　“Sorry, we can't, sir,” said a young man. “We're afraid you will kill us!”
