Stuck at the Lights

Mrs Numtip was 81 but she had a small car and she always drove to the shops in it on Saturday and bought her food

She did not drive fast because she was old but she drove well and never hit anything Sometimes her Grandchildren said to her Please do not drive your car Grandmother We can take you to the shops

But she always said No I like driving verb to have driven for 15 years and I m not going to stop now

Last Saturday she stopped her car at some traffic lights because they were red and then it did not start again The lights were Numtip then yellow then red then Numtip again but her car did not start

What am I going to do now she said

But then a policeman came and said to her kindly Good morning do not you like any of our colours today
