Sumeth works in a factory. He does not have a wife, and he gets quite a lot of money every week. He loves cars, and has a new one every year. He likes driving very fast, and he always buys small, fast, red cars.

He sometimes takes his mother out in them, and then she always says, “But, Sumeth, why do you drive these cars? We’re almost sitting on the road!”

Then Sumeth laughs and is happy. He likes being very near the road.

Sumeth is very tall and very fat. Last week he came out of a shop and went to his car. There was a small boy near it. He was looking at the beautiful red car. Then he looked up and saw Sumeth.

“How do you get into that small car?” he asked him.

Sumeth laughed and said, “I don’t get into it. I put it on.”
