    安去年夏天刚参加工作，还没有过假期。她尽量省钱，于是在今年一月，订了由旅行社包办一切的到西班牙罗萨斯去旅游的票。八月的第一个星期六的早上，离开了伦敦飞机场。她高兴极了，因为这是她第一次出国旅游。 在飞行中他们吃了一份点心，到达巴塞罗那机场时，一辆专车已准备好并且把他们送到了罗萨斯 的一个旅馆。天气好极了。安尽情地享受着汽车旅行的乐趣。

    到了旅馆登记后，她就来到了她的房间，准备在晚饭前把钱兑换好。正当她准备下楼时，她突然发现她在西班牙钱币没有她的手提包里。仔细地找遍了所有的旅行袋，但是都没有找到。她的全部所有就是一个小钱包里的十英镑票。

    安找到了一个地方兑换她的英镑。只有委很少一点西班牙钱币，但她在这儿还要呆两个星期！中回旅馆的路上安买了一些乳酪、面包和桔子食品；每天她在这儿只吃早餐。这是可以的，因为她知道旅馆费里包括了早餐费。

    在她假期的以后的日子里，安在旅馆里游泳，躺在沙滩人进行日光浴，她还跟另一个旅游者，一个叫珍的苏格兰女孩一起远行。但是，当别人要到一些有趣的地方无能为去时，她却总是说他不舒服。 毕竟，中午只吃一点水果，晚上只吃一点面包和乳酪是不够的，尤其还是两个星期都是这样！

    假期最后一天的一个下午，安和珍躺在沙滩上。 珍问为什么从不跟他们一起在旅馆的餐厅里吃饭。那里的饮食真是好极了！安把自己的金钱困境全告诉了她。珍看了她一会儿，然后说，“但是难道你不知道？这次度假的收费是包揽一切的呀！”
