The Samson family walked through the front door of their apartment and flipped on the lights. Each of them, Mr. Samson, Mrs. Samson, Susan, and Steven, tossed his or her jacket into the corner. Then, one by one, they each collapsed, Mr. Samson into the padded rocking chair, Mrs. Samson and Susan onto the couch, and Steven onto the floor. They all let out a groan.
"Well, everyone," Mr. Samson said, "I'm sorry tonight didn't turn out the way we had planned. I know you all really wanted to see that movie."
"Forget about it, Dad," said Steven. "It wasn't your fault. Plus, the movie will be out for weeks."
"That taxi sure did smell," said Susan. "What are they going to do with our car?"
"Well, they will tow it to a mechanic, who will look at it to see if it can be fixed," said Mrs. Samson. "If it can, it'll be fixed. If not, we'll have to look for a new car. But that's not important. I'm still amazed no one was hurt. The couple in the other car said they were perfectly fine, too."
All of a sudden, Steven hopped up and grabbed the phone. "I know one thing," he said. "We don't have to go without food any longer. What's the number for the pizza place?"
