Mr. Robison won a lot of money on the football pools, but he did not know what the best thing to do with it would be, so he went to a friend who knew a lot about money matters.
This friend said to him, 'Go and buy some modern paintings. Their value goes up every year.
Mr. Robinson went to a good art shop and looked at some modern paintings. He did not understand them at all, and thought that they were terrible and also very expensive.
At last he saw a small picture which did not have a price on it. It was square and white, and had a black spot in the middle, and a narrow brass frame. Mr. Robinson liked it better than any of the others in the shop. 'How much is this one?" he said to the shopkeeper,
