Matt and his wife lived in the country. Matt was very stingy（小气的）and hated spending money. One day a fair（交易会）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 flights!” the notice said, “10 dollars 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 pay for his wife, as well. “I’ve only got $10,” he told the pilot, “Can my wife come with me for free?” The pilot wasn’t selling any tickets, so he said, “I’ll make a bargain（讨价还价）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, “OK. Your wife didn’t make a sound. She can have her free flight.”

“Thank you,” Matt said. “It wasn’t easy for her, you know, especially when she fell out.”
