It happened at a weekend in the 1970’s. Mum gave me two tickets for a film, telling me she was too busy to go together with me with theendless
housework. She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy. At that time, a ticket cost only 20fen.But to me, a little girl of twelve,20fen seemed quite a lot. I reached the cinema hurriedly
.Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. Just then a handsome young man, who
noticed me and the ticket, came towards me with a big smile, “You've gotan
estra ticket' ""yes," I nodded" That's great .Say how much?""20fen"
"Oh,"he thought for a while and then took out a ten-yuan notefrom
his wallet.
"I'm terribly sorry,but
I've only got this note." Seeing I was confused ,he added, "Then how about waiting for a whilebeforeI have changed it in the cinema’s store?
"Without much thinking, I agreed .Then we went to the cinema together. He walked very fast. I could hardly keep up with him
.Soon he disappeared in the Men's .I stood there puzzled
.Suddenly I realized the handsome young fellowhad cheated
me.
Before long I found that he'd sold the ticket to a little boy. He earned 20 fen, but lost his honor!
