Read the second funny story. Write a punchline that is both funny and logical.
A funny thing happened as we were driving to school yesterday. We stopped at a red traffic light and were waiting for it to change to green when a very small car drove up in the lane next to us. The driver put his foot on the brake to stop but as he did so the car started to roll. It rolled over very gently and very slowly right onto its side. The man in the car sat there looking mighty surprised.
n. 妙语，妙句
Fortunately there were some people waiting to cross at the traffic light, so they quickly ran over to the car and checked that the driver was fine, and then pushed the car back onto its wheels. ______________________________________________________________________________________________
We were still stopped at the traffic light when it changed back to red again- our mouths wide open in amazement!
