I wanted t buy smething tday --- until I figured ut the cst versus the benefit. At that pint I knew it was a cmpletely stupid idea.
What I wanted t buy was an lder car t have in additin t my fur-year-ld Smart Car that I abslutely like. S yu wnder, why wuld I want t have anther car as well? The reasn is ... grandkids. I have several and in the Smart Car I can nly have ne passenger （It’s a tw-seater）. Besides, ne f my daughters-in-law des nt trust the Smart Car as a vehicle fr her daughter Lily t ride in, s that’s ne little girl I can’t take anywhere at all. My husband als has a car --- and a truck.
S that’s why I had the stupid idea t buy an ld Tyta I fund n the lt f an h nest used car salesman. Thank heavens I came t my senses befre I spent $ 8000 t buy it, $ 80 r s t license it and prbably $ 500 t insure it fr a year. It wuld be senseless t buy that car.
My grandkids just have t cntinue t cme with me ne by ne. I can’t take tw girls ut t lunch r tw girls shpping r pick up the brther and sister that live in the same huse. As fr the little ne that’s nt allwed t ride with me ... well, Grandpa will have t pick her up. As fr me, I didn’t get mney in my savings accunt by being ttally stupid. Sure, ding things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind f mney t put tw r mre f them in a grup --- which wuld prbably drive me crazy anyway --- is really dumb.

Every small child knws the panic f lsing sight f its mther in the supermarket, and as the pictures shw, small whales bviusly feel the same way.
Taken by a British div er wh was fllwing the sperm whale（抹香鲸） calf, they shw the minute the baby --- wh had lst track f its mum ---- fund her again in the sea ff the Azres .
Jumping 30 ft acrss the waves, the newbrn slammed（猛力推） its bdy nt the water with jy after becming separated frm its family grup in the cld waters.

‘The calves have t fllw what’s ging n belw them frm the surface --- prbably listening t the ech lcatin（回声定位） clicks f the adults.
‘Hwever smetimes the adults re-surface far ut f sight f the calf, and in this situatin the whales ften jump ut f the water causing a large bang as their bdies hit the surface. In this way, whale family can regrup.’
Sperm whales live in nearly all the wrld’s ceans in grups f abut 15 t 20 animals and they practice cmmunal（集体的） childcare. The calves d nt have t fllw their mther t clsely as a sperm whale calf can take milk frm any milk-prducing female in its scial grup.
