A man was walking along the street when he saw a woman carrying a large box. It was half in and half out of her car. So the man went up and said, " The box looks very heavy. Let me give you a hand. "
"That's very kind of you," the woman said, "I'm having a lot of trouble with it. Maybe it slicks (卡住)in the car door. "
"Together we'11 soon move it," the man said. "I'll get in and take the other end. " And he got in the car.
"Right," the man said. "I'm ready," and he began to push the box hard.
For several minutes, the man and die woman tried to move the box. Soon they felt very tired.
They rested for a moment. Then the woman said, "Let's try again. One, two, three!" They went on moving the box.
At last, when they wereexhausted, the man said, "I'm sorry, but I don't think there' a any way to get it out of your car. "
"Gel it out?" the woman cried. "I'm trying to get it in! You know?"
