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 wheel,the car window was wound down.
Paragraph 2:
“I'm sorry Mister,but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice,”said the police.

Paragraph 1:
“For the sake of God!”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel,the 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 Mister,but 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.
