Lesson69 The Spending Safari 1
Drake was excited because he and his family finally decided 2 to go to ParkSafari, a wild animal park a few hours from his house. Drake's parentsagreed to pay the admission price as long as he would pay for the extraslike rides, food, and souvenirs with money he had saved from his allowance.While he enjoyed many games in the park, he couldn't help spending hissavings on the things he liked. Drake bought lots of souvenirs because hewanted things that would help him remember that cool day. He bought a t-shirt, a poster, a stuffed Cheetah 3, and a water bottle. He even bought ahuge stack of postcards, even though his mother explained that they hadtaken lots of photos. After he paid for everything, he had less than $5.00 left, and he had had over $50.00 at the start of the day!
A few weeks later Drake had a lot of great memories of Park Safari. Heliked his mom's photos a lot more than the postcards he bought because theywere more personal. As for the souvenirs that he wanted so badly? Most werejust taking up space in his room, and he wasn't able to remember why hewanted them so much. The worst part was, he was at the mall the other dayand saw an awesome 4 skateboard with a tiger painted on it. It cost $40.00,but since he spent all his money on little things at Park Safari, hecouldn't afford it.

德雷克感到非常激动,因为他们全家终于决定去野生动物园旅行了。这座野生公园,离他家有几小时的路程。德雷克的父母答应支付门票的钱,只要德雷克支付其他例如骑马、食物、纪念品的费用,这些费用要从德雷克的积蓄中出。
公园里,德雷克玩了许多有趣的游戏,他情不自禁地把他的积蓄花在了他喜欢的东西上。德雷克买了许多纪念品,因为他觉得这些东西可以帮他回忆起这高兴的一天。他买了T恤衫、海报、一只填充的印度豹和一个水瓶。尽管母亲说他们已经拍了许多照片,他还是买了一大堆明信片。当他买好了所有东西后,他只剩下不到五美元,而早上一开始时他有五十多美元。
几星期后,德雷克仍保有许多关于野生动物园的美好回忆。比起明信片,他更喜欢母亲的照片,因为它们更加个性化。至于那些他非常想要的纪念品呢?大部分只是占据了他房间的空间,他已经记不起来为什么那时这么想要它们了。最糟糕的是,一天他去商场看到了一块很棒的滑板,板上画着一只老虎。滑板要四十美元,但是因为他把所有的钱都花在野生动物园里那些小东西上了,他买不起滑板了。
