POCKET MONEY
Two little hoys. Dick and Harry, met in the street. Harry held up some coins, saying: “Look at my money. How much have you, Dick?” “Just twice as much as you have.” was the reply. “And if yon now pay me the halfpenny you owe me. I’ll have three times as much.” Harry settled the debt, and spent the balance of his cash on oranges at sixpence a dozen. How many oranges did he buy? Answer: Three oranges. —Sent in by Elva Parr.
