Johnny is offered to choose between a nickel and a dime

Little Johnny is always being teased by the other neighborhood boys for being a bit slow.

Their favorite joke is to offer Johnny his choice between a nickel and a dime. Little Johnny always picks the nickel.

One day, after Johnny picks the nickel again, a kind neighbor pulls him aside and says, โ€œJohnny, those boys are making fun of you. Donโ€™t you know that a dime is worth more than a nickel, even though the nickel is bigger?โ€

Johnny grins and replies, โ€œWell, if I took the dime, theyโ€™d stop doing it. So far, Iโ€™ve made $20!โ€
