  • 我回到家时，肯定已是凌晨两点左右了。我按响了门铃，试图唤醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我从花园的小棚里搬来了一个梯子，把它靠在墙边，开始向卧室的窗口爬去。快要爬到窗口时，下面一个人用讽刺的口吻说："我看不必在夜里这个时候擦窗子吧。"我向下面看去。当我看清是一个警察时，差一点儿从梯子上掉下去。我回答了他的话，但马上又后悔不该那样说，我是这样说的："我喜欢在夜里擦窗子。"
    • 17
  • "我也是的，"警察用同样的声调回答，"请原谅我打断了您。当一个人在忙着干活时，我是不愿意去打断他的，但请您跟我到警察局去一趟好吗？"
    • 18
  • "可我更愿意呆在这儿，"我说，"您瞧，我忘带钥匙了。"
    • 19
  • "什么？"他大声问。
    • 20
  • "钥匙！"我喊道。
    • 21
  • 幸运得很，这喊声惊醒了我的妻子。就在警察开始向我爬上来时，她打开了窗子。
