A small boy was looking at the red ripe tomatoes growing in the farmers garden. "Ill give you my two pennies for that tomato," said the boy pointing to a beautiful, large, ripe fruit hanging on the vine.

"No," said the farmer, "I get a dime for a tomato like that one."

The small boy pointed to a smaller green one, "Will you take two pennies for that one?"

"Yes," replied the farmer, "Ill give you that one for two cents."

"OK," said the lad, sealing the deal by putting the coins in the farmers hand, "Ill pick it up in about a week."
