Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48 hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV. Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended her greatly.        But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport. So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don"t want an SUV. I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday. She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys.         The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker.         Patricia didn"t make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped running. and I"m out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said.        "That doesn"t make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town, didn"t you? "         "No. Of course not ! "  yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. "        "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia.        "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We"II send a man out with some spare gas for you:if you"d like. ,,"        Of course l"d like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?"        The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn"t tell her that there would be a  $ 50 service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport.

It was Thanksgiving morning and m the crowded kitchen of my small home. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags shaking inside the storm door on the top step.      " Anyoldpapers ,lady? " asked one of them.      I was busy. I wanted to say " no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋) , wet with heavy snow.      "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa. "      They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.      The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, " Lady, are you rich?"      " Am I rich?Mercy , no ! "      I looked at the old furniture in the room. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, " Your cupsmatchyoursaucers. " Theyleftafter that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn"t said" Thank you" . They didn"t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job-these matched , too.      I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
