Question

Read the excerpt from "Civil Peace” by Chinua Achebe.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is “We know you say you don’t have money, but we don’t have any, so give us yours and we’ll leave.”

Answer 2

"We know you say you have a lot of money, so give us just a little and we will leave you alone."  I chose this cause it sounded like they asked for a hundred pounds when they could have asked for more, and sounds like they are coming back.  Hope this helps!
