The taxi-driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel. The traveler gave the taxi-driver 100 dollars and said: “What about tomorrow?” The taxi-driver looked at the man and said : “ Tomorrow? It’s another 100dollars.” But the man said: “ That’s OK! See you tomorrow.” The taxi-driver was very pleased. The next day the taxi-driver took the traveler everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again.
