Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to
36 in that airplane." And every year Edna would say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride
37 ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Fred and Edna went to the fair again and Fred said, "Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another
38 ." Edna replied, "Fred, the airplane ride needs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

40 . I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay
41 for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't
42 you, but if you say one word, it's ten dollars."
Fred and Edna agreed and
