Gold Rush Choose Your Own Adventure

On a ship some men want to gamble with you above deck. You tell them that you don’t want to gamble. One of them shout at you “Tell me a good reason why you don’t want ter gamble.” “Yeah!” “Well first of all what happens to your money when you don’t win? They go to another person and also it is bad for you to gamble and it is better for you to read and write.” you explain. “Oh. Okay fine. But you have to gamble the next time we come across you. Deal?” “Deal,”you reply. For days you read below decks where no one can find you. After many days of reading you finally come to San Francisco! You see ships on the deck that are all empty. You think that they probably already went to the mining camps. You know that you would have to buy your mining supplies. A wash pan is $30, a tent was $50,canned food for $40,jugs of water for $15, a pickaxe for $50, a pouch for $5,and a horn spoon for $50. You have to decide whether you buy your supplies in San Francisco or at the mining camps. What do you say?
