pachi's tech is Leontief!

i couldn't help but blogging this. once i thought, this is a material for the other blog. but this is so fun, and not necessarily econic -- so you read it here. pachi, my cute niece is, as i just found out, leontief-ian. her mother told me this story over the dinner. she bought pachi a set of cute stationary set. it has six colorful pages to write letter on and three envelopes. it's time for pachi to write letter to her friends. when she's done she showed it to her mom. mom saw three letters, each with single page and three envelopes -- one for each letter. mom asked her, so you still have three pages leftover, honey? pachi stared at her mom. "mom," she said, "why should i still have them? you gave me only three envelopes. but you gave me too many papers. i threw three pages to the trash bin". isn't she cute?
