Synopsis

When the narrator was a four-year-old boy, he did not know the value of money. Once, he went to Mr.Wigden¡¯s candy shop alone, using six cherry seeds to ¡°buy¡± a lot of candies. Mr.Wigden understood the innocence of the child, he gave the candy and two pennies to the boy as change.

When the boy grew up, he and his wife opened an aquarium shop. One day two little children came to his shop. They picked out pairs of several different kinds of fish which were worth 30 dollars. The children only paid him three pennies for the fish. At that moment, he sensed the challenge he had given long ago to Mr. Wigden and learned to understand the power to destroy or preserve the innocence of children, and gave the fish to the children. His wife understood him after he told her the story of Mr. Wigden.
