One day, a stranger came along and said, “Can you direct me to that and that street?” “Yes, certainly, but we’ll take you there.” So we got him there and he gave us, as reward, a bill for 100 million Marks. Next day we went to the local confectionery: “We’ve got 100 million Marks. What can you give us? How much of your shop?” He opened his little pot there, and he pulled out a little liquorice stick. That was all. Hyperinflation. And it was a very bad time for people.
