An Original Children's Story in Pictures and Words by Kevin Geary ©2009
One day, the Bankers came to Congress and said, "We're completely broke!"
"Can you spare us $700 billion?"
"Sure," said Congress, "We'll deliver it right away!"
"Well, thanks," said the Bankers, "but how will you pay?"
"Don't worry," said the Congress, "We'll just halve the paper money, right away!"
"That sounds OK," said the Bankers, "but what will be left in the end?"
"Ah," said Congress, "Don't worry, our
word is as good as GOLD!"
In which, dear children, is where you should put all your money, right away!
