very important meeting, my good man," he told the driver. "Please go as fast as possible."
The driver agreed, 2 he couldn"t do more than 100 kilometres an hour on that road. The Pope kept
asking the driver to go faster, but he failed. It made him 3 .
Then the Pope said, "Look, I really 4 get to this meeting. It"s very important. You sit 5 and I"ll
drive."
Being a good Catholic lad (天主教), the driver felt he should do 6 the Pope told him. So they changed
their 7 and went on. The Pope really put his 8 down and they were doing well over 160 kilometres
an hour. But a few kilometers down the road they got pulled over by the police.
A policeman came over to the car, looked in and then walked away to call his chief (长官)."Chief, Chief,"
he said into his radio, "I might have just stopped 9 really, really important."
"Is it the Prime Minister (首相)?" asked the chief.
"No," said the policeman, "More important than him."
"Well, is it the Queen?" asked the chief.
"No, sir," answered the policeman, "More important than her."
"Well, who is it then?" asked the chief.
"I don"t know, sir," said the policeman, "But he has got the Pope 10 him around."
