That was such a beautiful story of love and devotion and hard work. They were children to admire. That lesson was a lesson that no child should have to learn so young. Sometimes the world educates children in a manner that is cruel. I loved the education on the money system I'm really not familiar with how all the denominations work. Excellent writing.
Thanks very much. I'm delighted you liked it.
Our money system was decimalised in the 1970s but until then we had the duodecimal system which used 12 as its base. It all seems so complex now; 12 pence = 1 shilling, 20 shillings = 1 pound.
Oh my, math is not my forte so I am afraid I'd do miserably with that system!
