Dangerous Driving
      Mr. Hart,a London taxi-driver,has a new black taxi. With his taxi he hurries through the busy streets every day.
      One day when he was waiting at his stand,a young man jumped into his taxi.
      “To the station as fast as you can,”shouted the man in a very unfriendly way.“My train leaves at three o'clock.”
      Mr. Hart did his best,but there was a lot of traffic. At every corner there was a red light. Then,at a crossing,a policeman slowly lifted his arm to let the people cross the road,“Hurry up,man!I don't want to miss my train,”said the young man nervously,
      “And I don't want to have an accident.”replied Mr. Hart quietly.
      While he was driving,Mr. Hart looked in the rearview mirror and suddenly recognized the man's face,He was a thief!The police were looking for him. His picture was in the newspapers.
      Mr. Hart raced through the streets,drove through red lights,and did everything to attract attention. Mr. Hart was driving dangerously. Soon there was a police car behind him. Mr. Hart raced on until he reached the station. He stopped in front of the station at two minutes to three,and the young man quickly jumped out of the taxi.
      “Stop!The fare!”cried Mr. Hart.
       At that moment the police car stopped too.
      “Quick!He is the thief!”shouted Mr. Hart.
      Two policemen rushed into the station. Three minutes later they returned with the
young man.
      “Well done!”A policeman said to Mr. Hart as they were taking the thief to the
police car.
      “He is a dangerous thief.”
