Mr. Brown gets up late this morning. He is going to be late for work. It is raining hard and the streets are wet. He drives so fast that he doesn't see the red lights. He can't stop his car and hits a car. An old man gets out of the car and calls out angrily, "What are you doing? How can you drive so fast?"
"I'm sorry, sir, "says Mr. Brown, "I didn't see the lights turn red. "Then he brings out a bottle of wine and gives it to the old man.
"It's cold today, sir, "says Mr. Brown. "Please drink a little, and then you'll get warm. "
The old man drinks some wine and becomes happy. He asks, "I'm feeling much better now. Why don't you drink any?"
"I can't drink anything now, sir, "answers Mr. Brown." I'm waiting for the policeman. Only drunkards (醉汉) cause accidents, you know!"
