Smart
Summary
Smart
The speaker tells the story of how he got a one-dollar bill from his father. He then happily traded this bill for two 25-cent coins because, clearly, two coins are worth more than one bill. After a few more trades he returns to his father, proudly showing him the five one-penny coins he acquired.
