Lesson
15 Fifty pence worth of trouble
五十便士的麻烦
Q: Did George get anything for
his fifty pence?
What?
Children
always appreciate small gifts of money. Father, of course, provides a regular
supply of pocket-money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra
income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If sixpences are not
exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money-boxes. Only very
thrifty children manage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a
small price to pay for a satisfying bar of chocolate.
My nephew,
George, has a money-box but it is always empty. Very few of the sixpences I
have given him have found their way there. I gave him sixpence yesterday and
advised him to save it. Instead, he bought himself sixpence worth of trouble.
On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his sixpence and it rolled along the
pavement and then disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled
up his sleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. He could not
find his sixpence anywhere, and what is more, he could not get his arm out. A
crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and
butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire-brigade was called and two
firemen freed George using a special type of grease. George was not too upset
by his experience because the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his
troubles and rewarded him with a large box of chocolates.
