At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if it would be fair to exchange a yet to be determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all, his food is the best in the town!

　　We ended up writing our IOU's with promises of a book, some paintings and the offer of work in a variety of ways if he needs it.

　　I think the idea isn't that the trade is "equal" so much as the importance of the kind of transaction. We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater understanding for the meals we ate.

　　We don't buy a lot, especially at this upcoming time of year. We don't give gifts at all in fact. The holiday time is spent enjoying each other's company and doing things together with family and friends. This is what seems most sensible.

　　Ilan is a good person. We are all lucky to have someone like this in our community.

　　27. Ilan did not take any money that day in order to_________.

　　A. have a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip

　　B. buy nothing that day to save some money

　　C. make people aware of their over spending

　　D. trade for something of equal value in return

　　28. For the meal, the author finally offered Ilan ________.

　　A. some promises

　　B. a book

　　C. some paintings

　　D. work in different ways
