Chapter CXIII: Go Fish*

One fishbowl: Three dollars and seventy-four cents.

One bottle of Aqua Safe: Two dollars and eighty-eight cents.

One cannister of fishfood: Eighty-eight cents.

One potted plant: Three dollars and ninety-four cents.

One Black Moor and one Golden Fantail: Three dollars and seventy-six cents.

Holding supreme power over two fragile lives...PRICELESS.

I'm using the definition of 'priceless' that means 'fifteen dollars and twenty cents.' It's number 93 in the Oxford English Dictionary. Look it up.
