新概念英语第二册第65课 Lesson 65 Jumbo?versus?the police小象对警察????Last Christmas, the?circus?owner, Jimmy Gates,?decided?to take some?presents?to a childrens hospital. Dressed up as Father?Christmas?and?accompanied?by a guard of honour of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have?known?that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman?approached?Jimmy and told him he?ought?to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most?amused.?Jumbo must?weigh?a few tons, said a policeman afterwards, so it was?fortunate?that we didnt have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.
