(SU) English Corner: Ghost Taxi

After a very late meeting, a fainthearted man hailed a
taxi. It was a half hour to midnight, and he was quite afraid. He had
goose bumps realizing it was Friday 13th.
After a while a taxi pulled over and he climbed in and gave his address
to the driver, who silently drove away. Exhausted, he fell asleep.

He jumped awake realizing the taxi was slowing down. It was dark
outside, but he could still see tombstones on the roadside. To
his surprise, the driver was gone; the engine was dead and the car was
moving by itself alongside a graveyard.
With shivering voice he cried for help. "Help! Somebody help me!"

Suddenly the driver's face appeared on the window. He said," Hey, shut
your mouth and help me push this stupid car! The engine stalled!"
