We rode our bikes home from the Journal a lot slower than we rode them getting there. Personally, I felt guilty. After teaching the others the fine art of negotiation, I had negotiated a crummy deal.

“I think we got the rough end of the pineapple,”1

Quincy muttered as we pedaled.

“He took advantage of us because we’re kids,” Rob commented.

“You can’t even buy a video game with fifteen dollars!” Eddie Bogle complained.

“Hey, we made fifteen bucks,” I said, trying to look on the bright side. “That’s better than nothing.”

“We sold our souls,” Rob said dejectedly as we pulled into the gazebo, “for fifteen lousy dollars.”

“Don’t think that way,” I told him. “Sure we sold our souls. But this is just the beginning. You’ll see. We’re going to make millions from this. So down the road we will have sold our souls for a million dollars. Does that make you feel any better?”

“No,” Rob said.

I put the fifteen dollars into our metal box, and everybody went home without saying good-bye.
