'Good luck Jack. Don't forget us!'Jack's work friends are

saying goodbye to him. They are having a p^rty for him
becausehe is leaving for a new job. He gets a card and a
present - a mobile phone. Jack's friends are sad' but the
party is good and they all dance for hours.

Then Jack leavesthe party. He's tired and he wants to go

home. 'It's cold,' he thinks. He looks for a taxi, but he
can't find one. He walks for a long time - he is getting very
tired. Then, at last, he seesa taxi. Great! Now he can go
home and sleep!

But this is only the beginning of a long night - a long night

in the taxi of terror!
