17.   From 1948 to 1993, when white people ruled South Africa, only black people with permits could go in white people’s areas. One day, two black men met in a whites-only section of a city. One of them had a permit to work in the zone, but the other did not.
  Suddenly they saw a policeman coming towards them, and they felt worried. “Run!” whispered the man with the permit to his friend. “I’ll follow behind.”
  So they started running and the policeman shouted “Stop, stop!” and began to chase them.
  After a while, he caught the second man.
  “Did you think you could get away?” he snarled. “Show me your permit!”
  The man, playing for time, fumbled in his pockets for over one minute and finally took out his permit.
  The policeman was surprised. He knew that he had been tricked. The man without the permit was now too far away to be caught.
  “You had a permit, but why did you run?” the officer asked unhappily.
  “Doctor’s orders,” said the man. “My doctor has asked me to run a mile every evening.”
  “Oh, yes?” the policeman doubted. “Then why was your friend running?”
  “His doctor has ordered him to run, too,” said the man.
  The policeman became red with rage.
  “You think you’re very smart, don’t you?” he yelled. “But tell me, if you were only running for your health, why didn’t you stop when you saw me running after you? And don’t tell me you didn’t see me chasing you...... I know you did!”
  “Of course I knew you were running after me,” said the man.
  “Then why didn’t you stop?” asked the policeman, ready to arrest the man once he admitted his wrongdoing.
  “I thought you too had been ordered to run by your doctor,” said the man.
