Drake was excited because he and his family finally decided to go to Park Safari， a wild animal park a few hours from his house． 德雷克感到非常激动，因为他们全家终于决定去野生动物园旅行了。这座野生公园，离他家有几小时的路程。
Drake's parents agreed to pay the admission price as long as he would pay for the extras like rides， food， and souvenirs with money he had saved from his allowance． 德雷克的父母答应支付门票的钱，只要德雷克支付其他例如骑马、食物、纪念品的费用，这些费用要从德雷克的积蓄中出。
While he enjoyed many games in the park， he couldn't help spending his savings on the things he liked．公园里，德雷克玩了许多有趣的游戏，他情不自禁地把他的积蓄花在了他喜欢的东西上。
Drake bought lots of souvenirs because he wanted things that would help him remember that cool day．德雷克买了许多纪念品，因为他觉得这些东西可以帮他回忆起这高兴的一天。
He bought a t-shirt， a poster， a stuffed Cheetah， and a water bottle． He even bought a huge stack of postcards， even though his mother explained that they had taken lots of photos．
他买了T恤衫、海报、一只填充的印度豹和一个水瓶。尽管母亲说他们已经拍了许多照片，他还是买了一大堆明信片。
After he paid for everything， he had less than $5．00 left， and he had had over $50．00 at the start of the day! 当他买好了所有东西后，他只剩下不到五美元，而早上一开始时他有五十多美元。
A few weeks later Drake had a lot of great memories of Park Safari．几星期后，德雷克仍保有许多关于野生动物园的美好回忆。
He liked his mom's photos a lot more than the postcards he bought because they were more personal．比起明信片，他更喜欢母亲的照片，因为它们更加个性化。
As for the souvenirs that he wanted so badly? Most were just taking up space in his room， and he wasn't able to remember why he wanted them so much． 至于那些他非常想要的纪念品呢？大部分只是占据了他房间的空间，他已经记不起来为什么那时这么想要它们了。
The worst part was， he was at the mall the other day and saw an awesome skateboard with a tiger painted on it．最糟糕的是，一天他去商场看到了一块很棒的滑板，板上画着一只老虎。
It cost $40．00， but since he spent all his money on little things at Park Safari， he couldn't afford it． 滑板要四十美元，但是因为他把所有的钱都花在野生动物园里那些小东西上了，他买不起滑板了。
