Richard was driving to work when the car came to a stop.He tried to start the engine,but it wasn't working.Then he tried to ring the workshop,but his phone wasn't working either.

Richard decided to walk the rest of the way to work,but before long he realized that he was lost.It began to rain heavily.He wanted to take a taxi,but there were no taxis at all.He was so tired that he fell asleep on the road.
