A man came out of the airport. A lot of taxis were there. He asked the name of every taxi-driver. Then
he took the 3rd one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. "How much does it cost for the whole
day?" the man asked. "One hundred dollars," said the taxi-driver. This was very expensive, but the man
said it was OK.
The driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the
evening, they went back to the hotel. The man gave the driver 100 dollars and said, "What about tomorrow?"
The taxi-driver looked at the man and said, "Tomorrow? It's another 100 dollars." But the man said, "That's
OK! See you tomorrow." The driver was very pleased.
The next day the driver took the man everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again.
And in the evening they went back to the hotel. The man gave the driver 100 dollars again and was going home
tomorrow. The driver was unhappy because he liked the man and above all, 100 dollars a day was a lot of money.
"So you're going home. Where do you come from?" he asked. "I come from New York." "New York!"
said the driver. "I have a sister in New York. Her name is Lucy. Do you know her?" "Of course I know her.
She gave me 200 dollars for you!"
