One day Mrs. Wilson took Trudy and Ben to go shopping. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping mall(购物中心)."Why do you buy things here, Mum?"

The Wilsons were not wealthy(富有的) and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought some groceries(杂货) in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, "We don't think you saved（省） money by going to the supermarket there." "Of course I did," said Mrs. Wilson, "everything was cheap there." "We know," said the children, "but we came home by taxi （出租车）because we had too much to carry. The cost(花费) of the taxi was more than the money you saved!" Mrs. Wilson added（加） everything up and found her children were right. "Well done," she said, "next time we will do shopping near our home."
