Apples and pie pennies in a small town bargain
Two sisters Agnes and Annabelle share two and three cents respectively to buy five cents worth of apples. They bake a pie and sell one third to a passerby for five cents, then split the remaining pie proceeds in proportion to their investments. The riddle asks what each sister should receive. Also notes include elk as a problem in Sandia New Mexico and a newsboy with a fox terrier attracting customers in St Louis.
