The Three Peasants Cut a Deal

• Larry says to Moe and Curly:

  • "Let's take them up on their offer to give us a dozen of those coins in exchange for food and horses"

  • "He's taxing us 3 coins each -- a total of 9 coins."

  • "We'll have 3 coins left over and still have our heads on our shoulders"

  • "Take the deal; we'll figure out what to do with the remaining 3 coins later."
