Pages from a village diary

Once upon a time in the village of Narayanpur there lived a bunch of people who assembled children's toys at the rate of 144 toys for Rs 20. Calculation yields that assembling one toy fetches them a little more than 13 paise and a little less than 14 paise. But alas, as much as I would have wished I was talking about some distant past when calculations were still in paise, I am not.
