Mr and Mrs Davis had four children. One Saturday Mrs Davis said to her husband, "The children haven't got any lessons today, and you're free too. There's a fun-fair (游樂場) in the park. Let's go."
Her husband was not sure about this. "I want to finish some work," he said.
"Oh, forget about this and go to the fair!" his wife said.
So Mr and Mrs Davis took the children to the fun-fair. Mr Davis was tony-five years old, but he enjoyed the fun-fair more than the children. He hurried from one thing to another, and ate lots of sweets (糖).
One of the children said to her mother, "Daddy is just like a small child, isn't he, Mummy?"
Mrs Davis was quite tired of going with her husband around by now, and she answered, "He's worse than a small child, Mary, because he has got his own money!"
