Ralph guided the car slowly, very slowly down the road toward the hospital. Fortunately there were no other cars on the hill as he went down the slippery road. Ralph could not hear Mrs. Smith breathing. Was she dead already? He must get her to the hospital! Only three more blocks. Ralph had just crossed the intersection when he saw the flashing red light of a police car behind him. There were 2 policemen in the car: the one on the near side rolled down his window and shouted for Ralph to poll over. "Is this your car, kid? Your license plates are a little out of date. you know. Let me see your driver’s license." "But we can’t stop now." said Ralph. "The woman in the back seat is really sick. This is an emergency!" The policeman was surprised." Under normal circumstances, you’d be in big trouble. But I agree you have no choice. Put the woman in our car. We’ll take her to the hospital." The police car sped away leaving Ralph sitting in the front seat of his car.
