He simply asked that you offer something of equal personal value forthe meal you received.At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if
29、it would be fair to exchange a yet tobe determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all,his food is the best in the town!第 5 页 共 8 页We ended up writing our IOUs with promises of a book, some paintings and the offerof work in a variety of ways if he needs it.I t
