　　After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said：“Would you mind driving in front of my house, sir?” Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car．But Paul was wrong again, “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked．

　　He ran up to the steps．Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast．He was carrying his little crippled(残疾)brother．He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car．

　　“There she is．Buddy, just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent．And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about．”

　　Mr．and Mrs．Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn(旅店)at the foot of a hill．

　　One year, however, Mr．Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city．

　　They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening．They had expected that they would have to go to bed hungrily, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven．They were surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night．“Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr．Smith．“Yes, certainly, sir, ” answered the waiter．“We serve it until half past nine．”

　　“What are the times of meals then?” asked Mr．Smith．“Well, sir, ” answered the waiter．“We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine．”

　　“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London．” said Mr．Smith．
