There are many different kinds of cars in the world. My aunt thinks this is because cars are like their drivers. She says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don’t agree with her.
My neighbor, Mrs. Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday, and then she drives only to the bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometers an hour. Do you think Mrs. Hill has a very old and small car? No! Her car is new. It’s very large, and it can go 200 kilometers for each hour!
My friend Mike is an artist. He draws beautiful pictures with lots of colors. But his car is black! Mrs. Bates has a very old car. It often has engine trouble. Does she drive that kind of car because she is poor? No, she has four factories and two million dollars in bank. My aunt Mary has a very small car. Every Sunday, she drives to the country with her husband, her three children, her mother and their dog.
Now, you have read about my friends and their cars. Do you agree with my aunt? Maybe you have a car. Does it say something about you?
