The Cowries.

00:00:02.370 --> 00:00:04.380 align:middle line:84%
A cowrie is a kind
of seashell which

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:08.189 align:middle line:84%
was used as currency,
like for coins before gold

00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:09.540 align:middle line:90%
and silver were used.

00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:13.110 align:middle line:84%
On a beach, Edmundson: I
want to buy this little boat.

00:00:13.110 --> 00:00:15.330 align:middle line:90%
Here are five cowrie shells.

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:19.255 align:middle line:84%
Ogon, a native: I
don't understand buy.

00:00:19.255 --> 00:00:20.880 align:middle line:84%
You mean to say you're
going to give me

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:23.490 align:middle line:84%
those tiny little
shells for my boat?

00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:24.510 align:middle line:90%
Ogon leaves.

00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:28.050 align:middle line:84%
Edmundson: that old
man has made me doubt.

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:30.960 align:middle line:84%
It may be that my way of
doing things is wrong.

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.300 align:middle line:84%
I'll give these shells to
someone who needs them,

00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:35.850 align:middle line:90%
and try to start over again.

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:38.030 align:middle line:90%
Sound of the sea.

00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:39.080 align:middle line:90%
