"You will be pleased with me today, mother," said Dick to his mother, coming home from school. "I saved on fares. I didn't go to school by bus, I ran all the way after it."

"Well," said his mother laughing, "Next time you should run after a taxi, you will save much more."

“妈妈，你今天一定会对我满意的，”迪克放学回家后对妈妈说，“我省下了车钱。我上学时没乘公共汽车，而是跟着公共汽车一路跑到学校的。”

“哦，”他妈妈笑着说，“下次你跟在出租汽车后面跑，那会省得更多。”
