(This is the same person that answered above, just different account)
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Billy. He lived in the royal village of Scotland under King Richard. One day, the king decided to call all the children in the valley to his presents. He gave each of them a flower seed, and said that whoever grew the most beautiful flower would be the new king. Billy was so excited and rushed home right away to plant the seed. He watered it every day, but nothing ever came up. His neaighbor already had a beautiful flower growing, along with most of the other kids in the valley, but Billy never did. On the date the king said to come back, everyone had flowers of all sorts. There were magnificant sunflowers, and daisies, and roses, and every other type of flower you could think of. The king had them all line up with their flowers, but Billy's pot was still empty. He was embarrased and ashamed. However, when the king reached Billy, he smiled and grabbed Billy's arm and rasied it high in the air. He announced Billy as Scotland's new king. He explained that every seed he gave the children, had all been roasted and cooked, so there would be no plant to ever come up. This proved that everyone in the whole valley cheated and replaced seeds when nothing came up, all except for Billy. He was testing the people in his valley to see which kid was honest, and trustworthy. Becuase Billy did not cheat and replace the seed like everyone else did, the king trusted him, and made him the new king of Scotland. The End
1. The Connotations of the word "worth" are a) financial value and b) assets.
- The speaker uses the abacus with her mother to analyze and summarize their financial worth. Before the advent of calculators, the abacus served as a tool for counting financial figures.
2. The speaker discusses something more than financial worth when she stated that their worth was being counted or evaluated with an abacus to show that one should always account for their possessions, whether the possessions are financial or not.
- Periodically, the speaker and her mother needed to determine their preparedness for the coming winter season. During the winter, they would not have the opportunity to venture outside their closed doors to get things for the sustenance of life.
- So taking account before the rain days is important in life, though it may sound tedious and mundane.
3. The speaker and her mother have to keep money "buried" in jars for safe-keeping. Accountants are known for using professional techniques to safeguard the assets of their entities.
4. There is always an emotional or psychological reason for hoarding coins at home. Keeping some cash within easy reach had always been more prudent than having every coin kept in the bank.
The experience of winter gloriously teaches that ready cash must be available at home and not always in the bank. This practice is gradually becoming outdated with the advent of online banking and bank cards.
5. The closing word "foundation" in <em>Accounting by Natasha Trethewey</em> shows that money is important in a home, just as the foundation is to a building.
- Money keeps the home together. Time spent together doing some "accounting" is the cement of the home. A building on a strong foundation stands the test of the weather.
Thus, the art of accounting has remained a long-time practice connected with the determination of financial worth and value.
