Joe Schmidt,    very wealthy, was a tightwad(吝啬鬼).
 day he and his wife wanted to take a spin(兜一圈) in an airplane over the city  New York.
The pilot said it would be 10 dollars a piece for a thirty-minute flight. “How about 10 dollars for both of  ?” the stingy(吝啬鬼) millionaire asked, “No way!” replied the pilot firmly. Schmidt pleaded(恳请) earnestly with the pilot for quite a while. Since it was a slow day and there were not many customers, the pilot finally agreed. “Ok, I will take you and your wife for ten dollars on one condition: while in the air, you cannot make any noise.    I hear a peep(动静) out of you, that will cost you 20 dollars,” Schmidt agreed reluctantly(不情愿地,勉强地).
The plane took    without a hitch. Purposely, the pilot made somersaults(筋斗) and all kinds of tricks, just to scare the guy,    the plane finally landed, the pilot asked credulously(轻信地): “I have got to hand it to you. I didn’t know how you managed to be so quiet.” “It wasn’t easy,” confessed(坦白,供认)  tightwad. “I almost hollered(叫喊,抱怨) when my wife fell out.”
