Mr.Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office,so he was able to drive home every day for lunch.He didn't like to eat cold packed lunch.And his wife was a good cook.He really enjoyed the one-hour lunch time.But he had a problem.Every time he drove home at noon,he found at the road outside his house cars were parked,and there was no room for his own car.He had to drive somewhere else to park his car.Then he had to walk back home.This lasted for some time and it made him very angry.
He put up a board,which said,"No Parking"in the garden facing the road,but nobody seemed to take any notice of it.People obeyed a police notice,but not a private one.There were no parked cars where there was a blue board with white letters on it:
POLICE NOTICE
NO PARKING
Mrs.Brown suggested that he steal a police notice.He said he didn't want to be caught.He was afraid of going to prison.She then suggested he make one just like a police notice.He said he was not the police and couldn't use the word"police".He decided to find a good way to solve the problem.
Several days later,Mr.Brown made a blue board with white letters:
POLITE NOTICE
NO PARKING
"Oh!"Mrs.Brown said,"But you told me you weren't going to use the word‘police'.That's exactly like a police notice."
"Is it?"he asked,"Look again."
She read the words on the board again and started to laugh.
