with him.Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her.She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away.On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.

　　Mary stared in amazement.It seemed the faster they drove,the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.

　　Mary remained silent.She leaned forward and turned the radio on,to try to divert her attention away from the flies,but she couldn't help thinking about them.She looked up at Mark,who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing along to the music while driving merrily along.

　　Finally,Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and looked in the mirror and said,"Mary,I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat.Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?"

　　Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack,which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label(标签).

　　"That's not hair cream on your hair,Mark!It says it's Fly Trap Glue!"
