年轻女子抬起了客座门扣，让搭车人上来，是一位拎包的老太太。两人都坐定后，年轻女子碰巧向下瞥了一眼。她顿时惊呆了！他注意到这位“老太太”手上竟然长满了汗毛！

年轻女子心里大惊：这是个男人！我得把他弄下车去。她稳住自己，表面保持冷静，在拨弄各种按钮时，她的脑子飞快运转，拼命地思考。

她转动钥匙点火，虽然知道车由于锁的作用不会发动起来。她反复试了三次，假装恼怒。希望自己的声音不会发抖，她说道：“哦，天啊！它时不时就会这样。通常我得请人推一下车。”然后她又转了两下钥匙，还是毫无反应。

“见鬼！”她咬了咬嘴唇，好像在想解决办法。“您看，真不该请您做这种事，不过我实在没有别的办法把这辆破车发动起来。您能不能稍微推它一下，让它发动起来呢？”

多少让她感到意外的是，搭车人竟然同意了。这女子大气不出一声地等着，直到客座的门关上，那人绕道走到车后。就在这一瞬间，她立马打开锁把车发动起来，呼啸着开着跑了。
