　　The Gordon family was spending a day on a beach. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines.Mr.Gordon was too stingy to rent a chair.Their twelve-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water"s edge.
　　Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl, with her head only above the water, was shouting for help.
　　She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. However, he knew what to do and soon took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach.
　　By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They ran down to the water"s edge.
　　Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard saved her in time?
　　Fortunately, he had.
　　"That was quick work, young man," Mr.Gordon said. He turned to his wife. "Give the lifeguard a dollar."
　　"A dollar!" Sandra cried."Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead."
　　"Quite right, girl," Mr. Gordon said, pleased by his daughter"s awareness of the value of money.
　　He turned to his wife again and said, "She"s right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents."
