I love it. This is like the Sci Fi novel (Heinlein I think, Lazarus Long) where I learnt that for the bank which issues the money, money really is just paper.



This is from The Tale of The Adopted Daughter, which appears in Time Enough for Love. It's a really beautiful piece and the ending gets me every single time.


Yes, that's the one. I have to reread that book, it must have been more than 20 years ago I read it.
