丹尼爾：爸爸，圖書大廈在哪里呢？

爸爸：我在找啊。你還記得售票員是怎么說的嗎？

爸爸：但是我沒有看見啊。

丹尼爾：噢，爸爸，看那個標志。

爸爸：噢，天哪,我們下錯站了。對不起，寶貝。

丹尼爾：算了，爸爸，常有的事。

爸爸：都是我的錯。那我們現在怎么辦呢？走過去嗎？

丹尼爾：啊，我好累啊！

爸爸：好，如果你答應我不將這件事告訴你媽媽，我們就坐的士過去。

丹尼爾：當然，我向你保證。

爸爸：你要是遵守你的諾言，今天晚上我就讓你看《奧特曼》。

Daniel: My father is really careless. Sometimes he can't even get off the bus at the right s. But when that happens, he would always ask me to keep a secret from Mom then take a taxi, instead. So I don't think my Mom knows what kind of person she is married to.
