"No you owe me twenty-four."
"But that's not fair. You said a dollar a month."
"No what I said was that since everyone else is charging a dollar a month, I would charge what the market would bear. Since there is no longer competition, the market will bear twenty percent, and if you don't pay it all back I'm going to have to charge you interest on the interest."
"I'll tell Mom and Dad."
"Go ahead."
"Dad. You shouldn't have given our last twenty to the boys. How are we going to pay for gas for the car?"
"I don't know honey. I'm sorry. Everything's tight for them too."
Morgan, "I heard. Here I can get by. You two need it. I'll loan you the ten back."
"Umm, that's a nice sentiment son, but didn't we just give you this ten. Couldn't you just help the family out?"
"You gave me that money. It's mine. I thought I would be nice and loan it to you. After all I can't do anything until you pay it back. I have to make do on nothing. Everyone's scrimping."
"Alright. Alright son. We do need the money, and I guess its yours. We'll pay you back, plus interest."
"Thanks. Here's the ten. It's just not fair that everyone else gets something and I get nothing."
"I suppose."
Peter, and Paul come to complain. Paul starts, "Mom. Dad. Morgan's cheating Peter and me! And being mean to us."
"That's not true. I helped them both buy boots, and I gave you ten dollars to Dad."
"Is that what happened boys?"
