　　It was a cold wet night. The taxi driver hadn't had one passenger(乘客)all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man from the country coming out, carrying two big bags. “Aha! ”thought the taxi driver, “here's the right person to make good this bad day. ”He quickly stopped the taxi and opened the door.

　　Driver: Where do you want to go, sir?

　　Young Man: To the Park Hotel.

　　When the taxi driver heard that, his hopes of getting a lot of money disappeared. The Park Hotel was hardly two kilometers away. The young man would give him fifty cents at most. Only fifty cents ! Then he had an idea of taking the young man by a longer route----going all around the city and then back to the Park Hotel. This he did, and after a long time the taxi finally arrived at the hotel.

　　Driver: You should pay me fifteen dollars ,sir.

　　Young Man: What? Fifteen dollars? Do you think I'm a fool? You're trying to cheat(骗)me.

　　Driver: How dare you say I…

　　Young Man: You must think I don't know my way around.

　　Driver: But…

　　Young Man: Only last week I took a taxi from the station to this hotel. I know how much I should pay.

　　Driver: Oh…oh…all right. Now…now look…uh…

　　Young Man: I think I should call the policemen.

　　Driver: Oh, no! Please don't do that! I have a sick wife and four hungry children.

　　Young Man: All right! This time I'll forget it.

　　Driver: Oh, thank you ,sir. And you are right. The trip isn't worth fifteen dollars.

　　Young Man : You don't have to tell me that. I may come from the country, but I'm as clever as you city people.

　　Driver : Yes, sir.

　　Young Man : I just won't be cheated. I won't pay you a cent more than I paid the other taxi last week…thirteen dollars !
