  Harry was 4       He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. 5       he checked the Jersey timetable for May 22nd,he knew she was right. However,had he made such a careless mistake? Wondering 6        to do,he smiled at the woman's child. " Did you have a nice 7        in Jersey?" he said to her. " Yes, " she answered shyly. "The seashore was lovely. And I can swim,too！"

  "That's fine," said Harry. "My little girl can't swim at all. Of course,she's only three...”

  "I'm four," the child said 8      "I'll soon be four and a half."

  "Well," the woman looked at her child. "I 11       she hasn't started school yet. She is only four."

  "A four-year-old child 12        pay for a ticket,madam. A child's return ticket 13        Jersey costs $13. 50. So 14      we pay your hotel bill,you will own (欠)＄13. 50. The law is the law,since the mistake was mine..."
