倒霉的乘客

As soon as I walked out of the station,I saw a taxi coming towards me .I waved and it stopped beside me. I got in,banged the door and asked the driver to take me to my friend's house.My friend had told me that it was only a 15 minutes' drive from the station to his house.Unfortunately the driver knew little of the city and couldn't find the street.He drove from one street to another and now and then stopped the car to ask the way.When we finally got to the destination,I found that 40 minutes had passed and I had to pay 30 dollars for the fare.
