Don't you like any of our colours today?
导读：你的奶奶、外婆会开车吗？读一读下面这个故事，八十岁的奶奶开车出门，却把车停在马路上。为什么呢？
Mrs Green is eighty. She has a small red car and she drives it to the shop on Saturdays and buys some food. She doesn't drive fast, so she drives well and never hits anything. Sometimes her grandchildren say to her, "Please
don't drive your car, Grandma. It's too dangerous. We can take you to the shop." But she says, "No, I like driving. I drive my car for fifty years, and I won't stop now."
One day, she stops her car in the street because the traffic light is red, but she can't start her car when it is green. The light is red, and then green, then yellow again, but her car doesn't move.
Then a policeman comes and says to her, "Good morning. Don't you like any of our colours today?"
