Rich man part2Grandfather said even that he had the sneaking feeling that the rich man who own lots of gaia gold was not so insulated and isolated by his money that he did not know what people were saying about him, and that was the real reason he gave the party.
But both sides of the question went to the party. A lot of them were pretty curious about the inside home of a rich man.
They brought offerings for the pastor, as they were requested. Some people brought apples, and others brought sides of bacon and onions and other homey old-fashioned things like that. But nobody was really much interested in what the other guests brought. They were all waiting for one thing.
What would the rich man bring out? Even Doc Eaton, the preacher, according to Grandfather, could not help wondering about what was coming. You could feel the undercurrent of suspense.
And then the rich man brought out his offering.
It was a bushel of potatoes. They were nice potatoes, extra large and scrubbed white and clean. But still and all, they were only a bushel of potatoes that anybody could buy in the Old Market for a lot less than a dollar.
