In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
在冰淇淋圣代还很便宜的年代，一个10岁的小男孩走进一家酒店的咖啡厅，在一张桌子旁坐了下来。一名服务员在他面前放了一杯水。
“How much is an ice cream sundae?”
“一个冰淇淋圣代多少钱？”
“50 cents,” replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.
