Josiah asked if he cld do more chores in exchange for money. He wants to save up 700Shillings ($7) for "good cereal" (which is $7-$8 a box)!

Further explanation: Apparently Josiah found his wallet and counted what he had - 270 Shillings - which isn't enough for Fruit Loops or Frosted Flakes unless you go for the brands that taste like stale cardboard. We can get Kellogs and other "American" cereal (what Josiah rightly refers to as "good cereal") in Nairobi from time to time. Prices for actual American cereal (which is usually from the UK) range from $7 a box to $9 a box. We have JUST started getting Malt-o-Meal boxes here at significants savings ($5-$6 a box)! Believe it or not, I actually bring cereal from the United States when I travel for work and we save it for a special occasion! "It's our anniversary! Let's have Honey Bunches of Oats for our special dinner!"
