But David had to walk home from work “I can be warmer,” he thought, “I wear my coat backwards^①.”He took off his coat and put it on backwards. “That’s much better.”He thought and walked on. About ten minutes later a car hit him. The driver stopped his car and got out of it. He ran to help David.

Soon a police car arrived. The policeman ran to look at David. “I’m afraid he’s dead.”The policeman told the driver.

The driver could not believe it.“He can’t be dead.”He cried,“I did not touch him. Look at my car. There is not a mark^②on it.”

“He’s dead.”The policeman said again.

“I don’t understand it.”The driver said,“As soon as I hit him. I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood^③.”

“Did you touch him?”The policeman asked.

“Yes,”The driver said,“but I only turn his head around the right way.”
