Lesson65 Jumbo versus the police
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to
a children's 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 didn't have
to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let
him off this time.'
