Read the passage and the answer the questions that follow
1. More years ago, than I care to remember, I became a member of a very special kind of “pyramid club”. A teenager on summer break from high school in Ottawa, Canada, I got the urge to see more of my country. I hitch-hiked, landing a few odd jobs along the way-picking apples or chopping firewood for a meal and permission to bed down in some farmer’s barn. Finally, I ran out of money and jobs.
2. It was late in the evening when a very old car chugged up the road; it stopped when I thrust out my thumb. The driver was a middle-aged man in worn work clothes-a local farmer. When he came to where he was turning off, he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a two-dollar note. “Here,” he said. “Take this.”
3. Two dollars was a useful amount of money back then. A chocolate bar or a soft drink was about 5 cents; a hot dog, ten; a hamburger, twenty-five. “No, thank you,” I protested. “I am fine,” “Take it”, he said. “It’s a loan. You can pay me back by giving 2 dollars to a young person a few years from now- when you have it and they don’t.”
4. I have never forgotten that man. Over the years, I have returned the loan many times over, periodically raising the amount to account for inflation. Each time I asked the recipient to pass it on some other young person when he was able, along with instructions on how to pay it back. I wonder how many others have benefited from the unique pyramid club that the farmer started, all those years ago, with two dollars.
