It was shortly after one o'clock in the morning and Mr Fairfax was really  tired.He had been driving for over five hours,heading for a small town  far away from  home.The weather was clear but it was dark and Mr Fairfax could not find a motel to spend the night.Completely exhausted,he decided to stop  by the roadside  for a few hours' sleep at the wheel of his car.He fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.But soon he was awakened by a man tapping on the car window.“I say,you don't happen to know the time,do you?” the stranger asked.
Mr Fairfax wound down the window and  thrust  his head out.“It's around one o'clock,”he answered.Then he wound up his window and soon fell back into a deep slumber.
Half an hour later,another guy came up and knocked on his window who also inquired about the time.Once again,Mr Fairfax  gathered his thoughts  and told him that it was just after one thirty.
When the same thing happened yet again,Mr Fairfax became increasingly irritated.Sleep­deprived,he began to raise his voice at the passer­by:“It's two o'clock,God damn it!And why can't you get yourself a watch like the rest of us?”
This time when he was  winding up  the window,Mr Fairfax figured out  how to make sure no one else  disturbed  him.He found some paper and a pencil and wrote a note that he placed on the windscreen of his car.It said:“I don't know what time it is!” Amused by his good idea,he happily drifted off back to sleep again.
Not long afterwards,the note was spotted by a  policeman  on his night patrol.Intent on fulfilling his  duty  to assist motorists,he tapped on Mr Fairfax's car window.
“Well,sir,” the policeman said.“Now it is five past three!”

Paragraph 1
For the sake of God!”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheelthe car window was wound down.Mr Fairfax   thrust  his head out again,staring at the man breaking his sweet dream,his eyesred  for  lack of sleep.“How dare you!” Mr Fairfax shouted,“I may kill you if you do this again!”“Uh...Excuse me,” the  policeman  replied tentatively.“I was just doing my  duty.You know...” “Oh,please!Go ahead,sir.Just don't  disturb  me!” Winding up  the window,Mr  Fairfax were eager to go back to sleep.
Paragraph 2
I'm sorry Misterbut I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice,” said the police.“You think?” Mr Fairfax was still angry.“Yeah,so I was thinking you may spend the rest of the night in my office.It's not far from here by the way.”“Well,” Mr Fairfax started to feel uneasy.“I have to say thanks a lot,really.And I'm also sorry for the rudeness just now.”“Oh,that's OK.But I'm afraid you have to pay a fine of $10 for parking  by the roadside,” the police wrote a ticket with a tricky smile.
