一次不愉快的旅行(An Unpleasant Trip)
i went to changsha for my holiday by train on the night of july 15th,2002. it was so hot in the carriage that many passengers wanted something to drink. just then, a young man came to deliver water with a water jug in hand. "water, water. free water. "shouted the young man.
a middle-aged woman asked for a glass of water and was very grateful to the young man. but after a while, two tall and strong men came to charge her five yuan for that glass of water. the middle-aged woman looked at them and took out a five-yuan note from one of her pockets slowly. without a word, she handed the note to one of them, her eyes being filled with anger.
the carriage was silent. the two men went away without any sense of shame. "robbers!" someone said in a low voice.
this was really an unpleasant trip i have ever had!
