THE WAY TO GET THINNER
When Mr. Holland was a young man, he played a lot of football, and he
had always been thin and very strong. But then he worked in an office for
many years, and he drove to work in a car, so when he was forty, he was fat
and very soft. He did not wish to get fatter and softer every year.
One day one of his friends said to him, ‘Would you like to be thinner,
Fred?’
‘Of course I would’, Mr. Holland answered.
‘Well,’ his friend said, ‘stop going to your office by car, and get a
bicycle.’
Mr. Holland had not ridden a bicycle for many years. ‘It’s very hard to
learn to ride a bicycle again at your age,’ his wife said.
But it was not too hard for Mr. Holland to do. He usually sat in his living
room and read the newspaper in the evening, but he bought a bicycle for his
birthday and practiced riding that every evening instead. He hoped that it
would help him to get thinner, and he got a lot of pleasure from it.
Later he began to go to his office on his bicycle. Sometimes all the cars
stopped at a red light, and he went past them to the front, because his
bicycle was narrow. Then he was very happy.
Yesterday he stopped at a red light, and a man came up behind him on
another bicycle. He stopped, too, and said to Mr. Holland, ‘have the police
taken your driving licence away, too?’
