The Cowries.
A cowrie is a kind of seashell which
was used as currency, like for coins before gold
and silver were used.
On a beach, Edmundson: I want to buy this little boat.
Here are five cowrie shells.
Ogon, a native: I don't understand buy.
You mean to say you're going to give me
those tiny little shells for my boat?
Ogon leaves.
Edmundson: that old man has made me doubt.
It may be that my way of doing things is wrong.
I'll give these shells to someone who needs them,
and try to start over again.
Sound of the sea.
