A purple carriage pulls into Fruitwil station. Professor Prune promises to double your money in one month, “with no risk at all”. Limo puts in his 64 francs, the mayor invests the village reserve fund… and even the little ones from nursery school empty their piggy banks. Buddy, though, asks himself his parents’ three questions and listens to Grandpa Quince talk about the price of risk. But where does the “interest” money really come from? A night-time investigation inside a carriage will uncover a pyramid… and a much bigger plan.
What your child learns: the link between return and risk, promises that are too good to be true, spotting a pyramid scheme.
33-page e-comic in PDF, ages 7 and up, to read on a tablet or computer, or to print. A useful gift for your children or grandchildren.
