--- lesson 65 jumbo versus the police[00:00:01]

--- first listen and then answer the question.[00:00:08]

--- why did the police have to push jumbo off the main street?[00:00:14]

last christmas, the circus owner, jimmy gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital.[00:00:22]

dressed up as father christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls,[00:00:31]

he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called jumbo.[00:00:39]

he should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.[00:00:46]

a policeman approached jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as jumbo was holding up the traffic.[00:00:52]

though jimmy agreed to go at once, jumbo refused to move.[00:01:03]

fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street.^15[00:01:09]

the police had a difficult time, but they were most amused.[00:01:16]

'jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards,^“[00:01:22]

'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him.^“[00:01:28]

of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'[00:01:32]

--- end[00:01:41]
