“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.
