An accident

Two cars were going down

Second Street in Lawrence,
Kansas. A middle-aged woman
was driving a Chevrolet. Right
behind her, a teenage student
was driving an old Ford. The
woman was driving slowly and
carefully. The student wasn’t
driving carefully. He was
worrying about his classes in
school. He was doing badly in
Spanish and physics. He was
worrying about the final exams,
so he wasn’t paying attention to
the road. The traffic light was
green. A young woman was
walking down the street. A cat
was sitting on the corner near
the traffic light. A dog was sitting
on the opposite corner.

The dog was thinking about a bone. Suddenly the dog saw a cat. It ran across the road.

The woman saw the dog. She quickly put her foot on the brakes. The Ford crashed into the Chevrolet.

A young woman saw the accident. She ran to a telephone booth. The police and an ambulance came
immediately.
