"Oh yes, " he said. "They are my friends.
"In that case, " warned the officer, "you'd better get them out of here！"
"Yes, sir, " the man replied, and he began rowing furiously.

三位男子在公園的長椅上坐著。中間的一個在讀報紙，另外兩個在假裝釣魚。他們給想象的魚鉤上魚餌，放線，并卷線把魚抓上來。
一位過路警察駐足觀察了這個景象，他問中間的那個男子是否認識其他兩位。
“喔，認識，”他說，“他們是我的朋友。”
“那樣的話，”警察告誡說，“你最好把他們從這里弄走。”
“好的，警官。”那男子回答說，接著就開始瘋狂般地做起劃槳的動作來。
