It was during a weekend, Mum gave me two tickets for a film and told me she was too busy with the endless housework to go with me.She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket.I was very happy, of course.At that time, a ticket only cost 20 fen.But to me, a little girl of 12,20 fen seemed quite a lot.I reached the cinema in a great hurry.Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for buyer.A handsome young man noticed me and the ticket in my hand.He came towards me with a big smile.“You’ve got an extra ticket?” “Yes,” I nodded.“That’s great.Say, how much?” “Twenty fen.”“Oh,” he thought for a while and then took out a ten yuan note from his wallet.“I’m very sorry, but I’ve only got this note.” Seeing I was confused(迷惑), he added, “Then, how about waiting for a while? I’ll give you the money after I have changed it in the cinema’s store.”Without much thinking, I agreed.Then we went to the cinema together.He walked fast.I could hardly keep up with him.By and by, he left me farther and farther behind.Soon he disappeared in the crowd.I stood there without knowing what to do.Suddenly I seemed to realize the handsome young fellow had cheated(欺骗)me.He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honor.It seemed to be a funny or even ridiculous(可笑的)experience.But it did cast a dark shadow on(投下……阴影)my young mind.
