　　A traveller came out of the airport．There were a lot of taxis．He asked every taxi-driver his name．Then he took the third one．It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel．“How much does it cost for the whole day?”the man asked．“100 dollars, ”said the taxi-driver．This was very dear,(昂贵的)but the man said it was OK．

　　The taxi-driver took the man everywhere．He showed him all the parks and museums in the city．In the evening they went back to the hotel．The traveller gave the taxi-driver 100 dollars and said, “What about tomorrow?”The taxi-driver looked at the man and said, “Tomorrow?It’s another 100 dollars．”But the man said, “That‘s OK! see you tomorrow．”The taxi-driver was very pleased．

　　The next day the taxi-driver took the traveller everywhere again．They visited all the parks and museums again．And in the evening they went back to the hotel．The man gave the taxi-driver 100 dollars again and said, “I’m going home tomorrow．”The taxi-driver was sorry because he liked the traveller and, above all, 100 dollars a day was a lot of money．“So you’re going home．Where do you come from?”he asked．“I come from New York．”“New York!”said the taxi-driver, “I have a sister in New York．Her name is Susanna．Do you know her?”“Of course I know her．She gave me 200 dollars for you!”
