Pay in Advance
Timmy had only a quarter in his pocket when he approached the farmer and pointed to a tomato hanging lusciously from a vine.
"Give you a quarter for it," the boy offered.
"That kind brings fifty cents," the farmer told him.
"This one?" Timmy asked, pointing to a smaller, greener and less tempting specimen. The farmer nodded in agreement.
"Okay," said Timmy, and sealed the deal by placing his two pennies in the farmer's hand.
"I'll pick it up in about a week."
