Free Audiobook:  The Special Something

Chapter 8:

Boima pulls a rag out of his pocket tied around $3.57 in small change.  Bendu looks as if she is going to cry.  Mr. Seku thinks for a moment then reveals that this is just "...too-too bad for me."  When asked why, he explains that he has a priceless special thing with him today that he had decided not to sell unless he could find someone who would love it more than him.  He tells Bendu that he suspects she is such a person and offers to show it to her.  He then pulls a small sleeping monkey out of his pocket and announces that her name is "Beauty" and that today she has a special-something price...$3.57.
