Dead Rats and Paperclips

There was this story in one of my English text books about a child who initiates a trade with a dead rat and lands up with riches. This was a prose lesson back in the 80s, for students in the 1st or 2nd grade.

I stumbled upon a blog today where that story turned to reality. No dead rats. Just a red paperclip.

You can read Kyle MacDonald’s journey from a red paper clip to a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan in a year. Just click on the image below.
