七岁时,有一次放假,朋友们给了我很多铜币,塞了满满一口袋。

于是,我便直奔一家儿童玩具专卖店。

路上,我被一个男孩手中哨子的哨音吸引住了,于是,我主动提出用我所有的铜币换他的哨子。

我很得意,一回到家里,就吹着哨子满世界跑,但这哨音打扰了家人。

哥哥、姐姐和表亲们得知我做的这笔交易后,就告诉我,我付了四倍于哨子价值的钱。

他们说我多付的钱可以买好多好东西,还笑话我竟然做出这等蠢事。

我懊恼得哭了起来,这件事带给我的苦恼多于快乐。

不过,这件事一直留在我的记忆中,对我今后的人生益处良多。

从那以后,每当我想去买一些不必要的东西时,总对自己说:不要为哨子付出太多。

于是,我便省下了钱。

长大后,进入社会,遇到了很多人。
