If I want to move my car, I must push it. 5) How to spell names? One evening a policeman returned to his police station and told the officer in charge that he had found an old car without a license plate. "Where was it?" the officer asked. "In Ecclesiasty Street behind the bridge," the policeman replied. The officer opened the report book and began to write. When he reached the street name, he started spelling out "E-C-L-". He looked at it for a few seconds, then crossed it out and wrote "E-C-C-L-". Then he got annoyed, decided that he was already too busy with other work and said to the policeman, "write the report yourself!" The policeman had a try, too. But after a minute he put on his hat and started walking out slowly. "Where are you going?" the officer asked. "Back to Ecclesiasty Street," the policeman replied. "I will push the car around the corner into Smith Street."
