A-china: Come on, Jack. We are late for the meeting!

B-Foreign: Ok.

A(staring at the running cars on the street): Follow me, Jack. We will cross the street directly and speedily.

B(Hurry to stop A): No, no, no. It is dangerous!

A: But we are late. Look, so many people do that.

B: Yes, I see. But it is really risky. Look, about 50 meters away lay pedestrian overpass. We must go that route.

A: But...

(stooped by B)

B: No, no, no, no but. Our life is much more valuable than the 2 minutes.

A: Okey. (shaking the head reluctantly) You are really stubborn.

B: Sometimes we have to obey the rules, which will not cause us trouble. Nobody would risk his life for only 2 minutes. We never do that in our country.

A: Oh, Jack, you really shocked me.
