Mr. Brown’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he walked back home. This made him very angry.
He put up a board in the garden facing the road. The board said, “No Parking”. But nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with white letters on a blue board:
POLICE NOTICE
NO PARKING
