《The Extra Five Dollars》封面

Dax stopped at the corner store after school. He wanted a snack before soccer practice. He picked a bag of chips and a juice.

放学后,达克斯在街角的小店停了下来。他想在足球训练前吃点零食。他挑了一袋薯片和一瓶果汁。

The total came to ten dollars. He paid with a twenty-dollar bill. The cashier, Winnie, counted out his change.

一共十美元。他用一张二十美元的钞票付了钱。收银员温妮数出了找给他的零钱。

She handed him fifteen dollars back. Dax put the money in his pocket. He walked outside toward his bike.

她递给他十五美元。达克斯把钱放进口袋,走到外面,朝他的自行车走去。

He counted his change again outside. Fifteen dollars was five dollars too much. Dax walked back into the store.

他在外面又数了一遍找的钱。十五美元,多了五美元。达克斯走回了店里。

"Excuse me," Dax said to Winnie. "You gave me too much change."

“打扰一下,”达克斯对温妮说,“你找给我的钱多了。”

Winnie looked at her register screen. "You are right," she said. "I am sorry about that."

温妮看了看收银机的屏幕。“你说得对,”她说,“很抱歉。”

She took back the extra five dollars. "Thank you for coming back," Winnie said. "Not many people do that."

她把多出的五美元收了回去。“谢谢你回来,”温妮说,“很少有人会这样做。”

Dax smiled and shrugged a little. "It's not my money," he said. He waved and walked out again.

达克斯笑了笑,微微耸了耸肩。“这又不是我的钱。”他说。他挥了挥手,再次走了出去。

He unlocked his bike by the door. He put on his backpack again. He rode off toward the soccer field.

他在门边解开了自行车的锁,又背上了书包,骑车朝足球场去了。
