開銷巨大的旅行
德雷克感到非常激動(dòng)，因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)医K于決定去野生動(dòng)物園旅行了。這座野生公園，離他家有幾小時(shí)的路程。德雷克的父母答應(yīng)支付門票的錢，只要德雷克支付其他例如騎馬、食物、紀(jì)念品的費(fèi)用，這些費(fèi)用要從德雷克的積蓄中出。
公園里，德雷克玩了許多有趣的游戲，他情不自禁地把他的積蓄花在了他喜歡的東西上。德雷克買了許多紀(jì)念品，因?yàn)樗X得這些東西可以幫他回憶起這高興的一天。他買了T恤衫、海報(bào)、一只填充的印度豹和一個(gè)水瓶。盡管母親說他們已經(jīng)拍了許多照片，他還是買了一大堆明信片。當(dāng)他買好了所有東西后，他只剩下不到五美元，而早上一開始時(shí)他有五十多美元。
幾星期后，德雷克仍保有許多關(guān)于野生動(dòng)物園的美好回憶。比起明信片，他更喜歡母親的照片，因?yàn)樗鼈兏觽€(gè)性化。至于那些他非常想要的紀(jì)念品呢？大部分只是占據(jù)了他房間的空間，他已經(jīng)記不起來為什么那時(shí)這么想要它們了。最糟糕的是，一天他去商場看到了一塊很棒的滑板，板上畫著一只老虎?；逡氖涝?，但是因?yàn)樗阉械腻X都花在野生動(dòng)物園里那些小東西上了，他買不起滑板了。
Lesson69 The Spending Safari
Drake was excited because he and his family finally decided to go to Park Safari， a wild animal park a few hours from his house． Drake's parents agreed to pay the admission price as long as he would pay for the extras like 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 his savings on the things he liked． Drake bought lots of souvenirs because he wanted things that would help him remember that cool day． He bought a t-shirt， a poster， a stuffed Cheetah， and a water bottle． He even bought a huge stack of postcards， even though his mother explained that they had taken 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． He liked his mom's photos a lot more than the postcards he bought because they were more personal． As for the souvenirs that he wanted so badly? Most were just taking up space in his room， and he wasn't able to remember why he wanted them so much． The worst part was， he was at the mall the other day and saw an awesome skateboard with a tiger painted on it． It cost $40．00， but since he spent all his money on little things at Park Safari， he couldn't afford it．
