Aright someone help me before i cry its like 2am and it wants me to write a 3-4 line thing and the story thing is “How much will you pay for an extra day?”
The clock man asked the child.
“Not one penny,” the answer came,
“For my days are as many as smiles.”
[5]“How much will you pay for an extra day?”
He asked when the child was grown.
“Maybe a dollar or maybe less,
For I’ve plenty of days of my own.”
“How much will you pay for an extra day?”
[10]He asked when the time came to die.
“All of the pearls in all of the seas,
And all of the stars in the sky.” Ok and the question is How does the quote "not one penny; the answer came, / 'For my days are as many smiles'" contribute to the overall theme of the poem? Help rnnrnr pls
