1 reneged

In Egypt, there is always such a group of leading swindlers, that is, "taxi drivers". After hearing the feedback from some donkey friends, they said that they would take a taxi to the pyramid, and the driver directly said that they would pay for the ride. First, they agreed to pay 50 Egyptian pounds, but when they arrived at their destination, they asked you for 100 Egyptian pounds. The donkey friends must be stupid immediately, and it is impossible to be reasonable. The police ignored it and wanted to pay to get off the bus, but when they were in a good mood, they were locked up by the driver. inside
