　　It took George quite a while to find a parking place (停车场) for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, short way from the dentist's (牙科诊所). As he got out, he took a look at his watch--his appointment(约定) was at five and he still had twenty minutes to go. He crossed into the square (广场) and sat down on a chair, partly to enjoy the last of the afternoon sun, partly to take a rest. He didn't like to visit the dentist.

　　As he sat there, watching the children play and listening to people talking to each other, he was surprised to see a red sports car like his own come out of the street from the parking place. The car ran fast and was soon lost to sight (视域). George felt in pockets for his keys--they were not there.

　　“My car!” he shouted, the voice made several people look at him. He got up and ran across the square, then down the narrow street. His car was not to be seen--but then he found it behind a larger one. He was pleased to find his keys, still in his car.

　　By the time he reached the dentist's, it was already after five. “I had a very strange story,” he said to the dentist to explain (解释) his lateness. “I thought my car had been stolen.”

　　“It's quite all right, sir,” said the dentist. “As a matter of fact I have only just got here myself.”
