My friend is a taxi driver. He has been a taxi driver f ten years. It's a nice job most of the time. He can m a lot of people. He always works at night because there is too m traffic during the day. He usually goes home between 1 and 3 o'clock in the morning. There are some very s things which happen at night. One day my friend was taking a woman home f a party at 3 in the morning. She had her little dog with her. When they got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So my friend waited in the car with the dog while she climbed int the window.

My friend waited and waited. A half an hour of ringing the bell, he d to find out what was going on. He tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. At that moment some policemen came. They thought my friend was a thief. L, the woman came downstairs. She must have gone to s and forgotten about my friend and the dog.
