Senior citizens are permitted to travel cheaply on a bus if they have a special card. Women may
get the card when they are sixty.
Mrs. Mathews lived in the country but she went into town once a week to buy food and other
things for the house, and she usually went by bus. She always had to pay the full price for her ride.
Then she reached the age of sixty and got her senior citizen's card, but when she used it for the
first time on the bus, it made her feel very old.
The bus driver had often seen her traveling on the bus before, and he noticed that she was not
feeling happy, so after she had paid her money, he winkled(眨眼) at her and whispered. "Don't
forget to give your mother's card back to her when you see her again." Mrs. Mathews was very
happy when she heard this.
