What a shiny scooter (踏板车)! Sophie couldn't keep her eyes off it. Her dad noticed.
“Sophie, you have a scooter already, a really nice one!”
“I know, but this one is so shiny and new,” Sophie said.
“It is great, but we have to go,” said her dad.
They left the store. Sophie knew her scooter was nice, and it still worked. She just couldn't stop thinking of that new scooter!
A few weeks later, Sophie and her dad were back in the store. The scooter was just there, with a big sale sign on it! The girl ran right over to it. Her dad looked at the price.
“I know you've been thinking about this scooter a lot, Sophie. The sale price is pretty good, though it's still a lot of money. I can't just buy this for you. But what if I pay for part of it, then lend you the money for the rest, and you promise to pay me back?” her dad asked.
“Really?” Sophie said excitedly. “I promise I will pay you back!”
As they were walking towards the cashier desk (收银台), her dad asked Sophie if she knew what it meant to borrow money.
“Yes, it means that I have to give it back to you,” Sophie answered.
Her dad responded,_“You're right, but you can give it back to me a little at a time. Now you get five dollars a week for your allowance (零用钱). You could pay it back to me once a week until you pay off your part of the scooter. It will take several months.”
“Thank you, Dad! I will pay you back with my allowance until I return all the money.”
