A traveler came out of the airport. There were a lot
of taxis. He asked every taxi driver about 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 traveler gave the taxi driver 100 dollars and said, “What about
tomorrow?” The taxi driver looked at the man and said, “Tomorrow is another 100
dollars.” And the man said, “That’s OK! See you tomorrow.” The taxi driver was
very pleased.
The next day the taxi driver took the traveler 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 driver was sorry because he liked the
traveler and 100 dollars a day was a lot of money. “So you are going home.
Where do you come from?” He asked. “I come from New York.” “New York,” the taxi
driver said, “I have a sister in New York. Her name is Susan. Do you know her?”
“Of course I know her. She gave me 200 dollars for you!”
