In this YouTube short, Paul Woodley narrates an imagined inner dialogue of a character who first deems an action foolish, then looks at Mary with contempt, and finally laments a missed chance to sell something for 300 denarii. Woodley adds a brief historical note that a denarius was equivalent to a laborer’s daily wage, framing the lost sale as a significant economic loss.
