| [00:01.080] | --- lesson 11 Not guilty |
| [00:06.120] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
| [00:11.680] | --- What was the Customs Officer looking for? |
| [00:16.920] | Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, |
| [00:20.320] | but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare. |
| [00:26.720] | Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty. |
| [00:31.600] | The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. |
| [00:41.720] | When I returned from abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler. |
| [00:51.480] | 'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.^“ |
| [00:56.200] | 'No,' I answered confidently.^“ |
| [00:59.200] | 'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?'^“ |
| [01:03.080] | 'Not at all,' I answered.^ |
| [01:05.560] | The Officer went through the case with great care. |
| [01:09.440] | All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. |
| [01:14.320] | I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. |
| [01:18.480] | Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. |
| [01:22.320] | He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight. |
| [01:29.840] | 'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically.^ |
| [01:33.000] | 'You should have declared that. Perfume is not exempt from import duty.'^“ |
| [01:38.200] | 'But it isn't perfume,' I said.^ |
| [01:40.600] | 'It's hair gel.' Then I added with a smile,^“ |
| [01:44.480] | 'It's a strange mixture I make myself.'^“ |
| [01:48.160] | As I expected, he did not believe me. |
| [01:51.560] | 'Try it!' I said encouragingly.^“ |
| [01:54.280] | The officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. |
| [01:59.200] | He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. |
| [02:05.120] | A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage. |
