Xiao Qing is a schoolboy. His brother works in a hospital of Beijing. This summer his brother lets him come to Beijing. Xiao Qing is very happy. He comes to the hospital for the first time.

One evening Xiao Qing's brother gives him a ticket for a football match. It begins in the Capital Stadium (首都体育馆) at eight clock in the evening.

Xiao Qing finds only two yuan in his pocket. He has to run to the next stop. When the bus comes to the stop, he sees the young man again. He asks the young man, "Now how much is the ticket?"

"Four yuan," the young man says with a smile. "You run in a contrary direction."(相反的方向)
