Prompt: change

The auctioneer begins, “We have an iron for sale. Can I get two dollars?”

“Five cents.”

Sold,” the the auctioneer utters painfully. “How about this travel case, from France! Can we start with five dollars?”

“Ten cents.”

“I guess we gave that away! Let's try this football, signed by Major Everett!”

“twenty-five cents.”

“The bids have improved,' the auctioneer groans sarcastically, over the noise of the crowd. “And now, how much for a model of the greatest train ever; the Orient Express?”

“Five cents.”
