Not everyone has the chance to be a detective. But I ever got one when I was thirteen years old. It happened in 1988.
One afternoon, I was walking down the street when I saw my new car. I expected to see my father, but to my , I saw a young woman driving instead. “She stole my father’s car,” I thought. So I quickly stopped a and got in. I said to the driver, “Follow that new car . ” And I told him why.
The taxi driver had a car telephone, and I asked him to the police. Soon we heard the of a police car and its loudspeaker. The policeman told the woman to her car. Our car came to a stop, too. I right then and said to the woman, “It’s not car. It’s my father’s.”
The woman and said, “Oh. You’re Mr Jackson’s son, right? I’ve once seen your photo at your father’s .”
Before I could say word, the woman explained that she was my father’s new assistant. My father had asked her to take his computer to the shop to have it . He lent her his car. After hearing her words, we called my father and he told us what she said was . the police and the taxi driver laughed. I very sorry. It was both the first time and the last time for me to work as a detective. Don’t you think my story funny?
