Where Is My Car?

There are so many cars on the roads nowadays that driving in big towns is not pleasant at all.

Some time ago, a friend who works in a part of the city I don't know very well invited me it took me hours to get there and a place to park. As I was late, I hurried off on foot, thinking that these days it is much easier to walk than to drive. At noon, just as I was leaving my friend's office, I suddenly realized that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I walked down street after street, examining each car closely but without any result. Feeling quite tired, I gave up the search and went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and walked slowly down the street. I turned the corner, and there was my car, right
in front of me but on the window was a little ticked. It was a fine for bad parking. Next time when I visit my friend, I'll take a taxi.
