On the first Saturday in their new home; Hank took his new red car out of garage and was washing it when a neighbor came by。 When he saw Hank’s new car; the neighbor stopped and looked at it for a minute。 Then Hank turned and saw him。

The neighbor said;“That’s a nice car。 Is it yours?”

“Sometimes。” Hank answered。

The neighbor was surprised。 “Sometimes?” he said;“What do you mean?”
