Andrew was smart when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever.
One day，his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish. When he got to the market，he found that the killifish(鲋鱼) looked like goldfish and that they were much cheaper.
When he got home，his father realized what Andrew did at once. He put the fish in the tank(鱼缸) without saying anything at first. The next day he said to his son，" Andrew ，do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?" His father continued(继续)，"I'm glad that you know how to save money.
