Remedial Test

UH 1 English ( Sem 2 )
A police and whistle
Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical
instrument store in my hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of
junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy him one.
Willy likes listening to music very much. He also likes asking me
everything he wants to know. Even his questions sometimes seem
precocious for a boy of his age. He is very inquisitive.
We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing
near a traffic light regulating the passing cars and other vehicles.
He blew his whistle now and then.
Seeing the policeman blowing his whistle, Willy asked me at once,
"Dad, why is the policeman using a whistle, not a drum?"
Hearing his unexpected question I answered reluctantly, "Because
he is not Phil Collins!"
