Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised（答应）her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
\‘they’d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast. \
But Linda has promised that she would ring. \she says, \‘it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it‘s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。\
\‘re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat,‘ David says, \’s nearly four pounds(英镑). \
