He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was when they met one evening, and said, “What's , Dave?”
Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's was sensible(合理的),he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, to wait there for the people who had his advertisement. Even Dave had to that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸).Then, soon after he had got the car as clean it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave's car and then said, “Have you reported this to us yet, sir?”
