Today is Sunday. Mrs Green takes her children Trudy and Sam to go shopping. They go to the supermarket in a new shopping centre.
"Why do you buy things here?" Trudy asks.
"Because things here are cheaper than those at the corner store," his mother answers.
The Greens are not very rich and Mrs Green is very careful with her money. She looks carefully at the prices. She buys a kilo of potatoes, some milk and many other things in the supermarket. When they get home, the children say, "We don't think you can save money by going to the supermarket."
"Of course I can," Mrs Green says. "Everything is cheaper there."
"We know," Trudy and Sam say. "But we come home by taxi because we have got too many things to carry. The cost of the taxi is more than the money that you saved!"
Mrs Green thinks for a while. Then she says to the children, "You are right. We'll go to a nearer supermarket next time."

今天是星期天。格林夫人带着她的孩子特鲁迪和山姆去购物。他们去了一个新购物中心里的超市。

“因为这里的东西比街角商店的便宜。”他的妈妈回答道。
格林一家不是很富裕，格林夫人花钱很谨慎。她仔细看价格。她在超市买了一公斤土豆、一些牛奶和许多其他东西。当他们回到家时，孩子们说：“我们认为你去超市并不能省钱。”
