Not everyone has the chance to be a detective. But I even got one when I was 13 years old. It
happened in 1988.
One afternoon, I was walking down the street when I saw my father"s new car. I expected to
see my father, but to my surprise, I saw a young woman driving instead. "She stole my father"s car,
" I thought. So I quickly stopped a taxi and got in. I said to the driver, "Follow that new car in front."
And I told him why.
The taxi driver had a car phone, and I asked him to call the police. Soon we heard the sound of
a police car and its loudspeaker. The police told the woman to stop her car. Our car came to a stop,
too. I got out right now and said to the woman, " It"s not your car. It"s my father"s."
The woman smiled and said, "Oh. You"re Mr. Johnson"s younger son, right? I"ve ever seen your
photo at your father"s office."
Before I could say another word, the woman explained that she was my father"s new assistant.
My father had asked her to take his computer to the shop to have it repaired. He lent his car. After
hearing her words, we called my father and he told us what she said was true. The police and the taxi
driver laughed I felt very sorry. It was both the first and last time for me to work as a detective. Don"t
you think my story funny?
