In The Air
Matt and his wife lived in the country.Matt was very stingy(吝啬) and hated spending money.One day a fair(集市) came to the nearby town.
“Let’s go to the fair,Matt,” his wife said,“We haven’t been anywhere for a long time.”
Matt thought about this for a while.He knew he would have to spend money at the fair.At last he said,“All right,but I’m not going to spend much money.We’ll look at things,but we won’t buy anything.”
They went to the fair and looked at all the things to buy.There were many things Matt’s wife wanted to buy ,but he would not let her spend any money.
Then ,in a nearby field,they saw a small airplane.
“Fun flight!” the notice said,“$10 for 10 minutes.”
Matt had never been in an airplane and he wanted to go on a fun flight.However,he didn’t want to have to pay for his wife,as well.
“I’ve only got $10,” he told the pilot.( 飞行员).“Can my wife come with me for free?” The pilot wasn’t selling many tickets,so he said ,“I’ll make a bargain with you.If your wife doesn’t scream or shout,she can have a free flight.”
Matt agreed,and got into the small airplane with his wife.
The pilot took off and made his airplane do all kinds of things.At one moment it was flying upside down.
When the plane landed ,the pilot said,“O.K.your wife didn’t make a sound .She can have her ride free.”
“Thank you,” Matt said.“it wasn’t easy for her,you know ,especi ally (尤其 ) when she fell out.”

Matt和他的老婆住在乡下.Matt十分吝啬及怕花钱.有一天,隔壁村有举办了一个集市.
“让我们去集市吧,Matt,”他老婆说,“我们很长时间没有出去了.”Matt想了一会儿.他知道他去集市会花钱.最后他说,“好的.不过我将不会花很多钱.我们只看,不买.”
他们去了集市看要买的东西.那里有很多东西Matt的老婆想买,但是他不让她花一分钱.
过了一会,在旁边的一块地上,他们看见了一架小飞机.
“有趣的飞行!”有个提示上写着,“花十块钱玩十分钟.”
Matt从来没有坐过飞机,所以他想玩这个.但是,他又不想为他老婆付钱玩.
“我只有10块钱.”他告诉飞行员.“可不可以让我老婆免费坐?”飞行员不是卖票的.所以他回答:“我给你个优惠.如果你老婆不乱喊乱叫,她就可以免费坐飞机.”
Matt同意了,跟他老婆一起上了飞机.
飞行员表演了各种技能.其中有一个是倒过来飞.当飞机落地时,飞行员说,“很好,你老婆没有出声音,她可以免费.“
”Matt说,“这对她来说不容易.你知道么?特别是当她掉出去的时候.”
