Don't be late

Paul wakes up early, at half past six, but he never gets up immediately. He watches TV. But, then he is late. He is always late. Why does time always go so fast? Time always goes too fast. He looks at his watch, it's seven o'clock.It's time to get up! He has to leave in 10 minutes. So he turns off the TV and goes into the bathroom. He shaves his face. He brushes his teeth. He goes into his bedroom. He gets dressed. He looks at his watch again when he leaves home. It's half past seven. He has to hurry.

He goes out to his car. He drives fast, but he slows down at a stop sign.A police officer sees him and gives him a ticket! "Why don't you stop at the stop sign?" the police officer asks."But officer, I am in a hurry," he answers. The police officer gives him the ticket and says, "leave home earlier next time."
