　　John Russell, 83 years old, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens(高龄市民) could ride for half price. When he dropped his three quarters (that is, 75 cents) in the box, the driver asked for his ID card. John took out his ID card. “You need a special CTA card,” said the driver. John did not have the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.

　　“Then you need to put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.”

　　Old people are usually very stubborn(顽固的). John said, “Give me back my three quarters, and I'll get off.”

　　“I can't it's in the box. If you don't get off, I'll call the police,” said the driver, which he did, Two police cars pulled up.

　　John and the driver told the police their stories. “That's why you called?” one policeman asked the driver. Another policeman then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.”

　　John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He should give me my three quarters.''

　　“Where are you going?” asked the policemen.

　　“Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said.

　　“Come on,” the policemen said, “we'll get you your card.” So they took him downtown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card, he needed a picture.

　　“What about his three quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and a decision was made to give John's quarters back.

　　“How are you going to get there?”

　　“By bus. And all I'm going to pay is 75 cents.”

　　“Good luck,” the policemen said.

　　John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, “I'm a senior or citizen….” The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn't know how lucky he was to be a sensible(明智的) man.
