    A mother and her young son got into a bus in a small city and sat down. The bus conductor came to them for their money. The mother said, “I want one ticket to Oxford,” and gave her a shilling(先令).

    The conductor looked at the small boy for a few seconds and then said to him, “How old are you, young man?”

    The mother began speaking, but the conductor stopped her, and the boy said, “I’m four years old at home, and two and  a half in buses and trains.”
