1\\Mrs Black was eighty, but she had a small car, and she always drove to the shops in it on Saturday and bought her food. She did not drive fast because she was old, but she drove well and never hit anything. Sometimes her grandchildren said to her,"Please don't drive your car, Grandmother. We can take you to the shops." But she always said,"No, I like driving.I began to drive fifty years ago, and I'm not going to stop now." Last Saturday she stopped her car at the traffic lights because they were red, and then she couldn't start the car again. The lights were green,then yellow, then red , then green again, but her car did not start. 2. A young woman went to her doctor complaining of pain. " Where are you hurting?" asked the doctor. " You have to help me, I hurt all over" , said the woman. " What do you mean, all over?" asked the doctor, " be a little more specific." The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, " Ow, that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, " Ouch! That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe, " Ow, even that hurts" , she cried. The doctor checked her thoughtfully for a moment and told her his diagnosis, " You have a broken finger."
