BR 2-01: TAXI OF TERROR


I read “TAXI OF TERROR” this time, because the book looks like comic. This book’s YL is 0.8, so it was written in easy English. I thought it is easy to read for me.

The main character of the book was Jack. He resigned his job and got a new job. So his colleague held farewell party for Jack. Some colleague gave him a leaving card, and his boss gave him a mobile phone. He felt so happy!

After the party, he wanted to go home, so he walked a street. But the day was very cold, so he wanted to ride on a taxi. Then Jack found a taxi and said “I lived at 57 Park Road. Can you take me there?”
Jack slept in the taxi. He was very tired. Suddenly, a man rode on a taxi, and he said “Say nothing!” He had a gun!! So he was a robber. The Taxi driver felt a terror, but Jack didn’t get up yet!

A few minutes later, Jack got up. But the robber didn’t notice him. Jack was surprised at the happening! He wanted to catch the robber, but failed in his plan. He was locked in the boot of the taxi. It’s too small, so he felt pain. He wanted to go out from there. So he reflected that way of flight from the boot.

Then, he remember that he was gave a mobile phone from his boss! He phoned the police station soon!!
He explained the present condition. The policemen understood his situation. They started to find the taxi.

The taxi stopped at airport. The police men found the taxi, and caught the robber. The Policemen and the taxi driver felt relief.

Then, they heard cry “Help me!! Help!!!!”
So, they forget about Jack!

This story was little serious, but ending was very interesting for me. I thought Jack is funny man.
I don’t have rode on a taxi in foreign country, but I want to ride it someday!
