Relier Pairs

The merchant agreed to loan me money if I could start my own business from a dead mouse.

I had a goldsmith make me a gold mouse and presented this mouse to the merchant as payment.

I sold the mouse as cat's meat for two handfuls of peas.

I was able to sell enough woods to start a shop and became wealthy.

I offered a drink and a serving of peas to the passing wood-cutters.

I lived with my mother. We were very poor, but she was hard-working.

The wood-cutters gave me a couple of sticks of wood in payment.

My mother told me to go to the richest merchant and ask him for a loan.
