Socrates: (turning to Meno) And, of course, with the monetary rewards for such a position, go all the rest of it.
Meno: Of course, Socrates. I never thought to cheat you.
Socrates: I know that, friend Meno, but I merely ask for the boy's sake, who is not used to hearing about high finance and the powers and rank which accompany such things.
Meno: Of course, Socrates. Shall I tell the boy what he shall receive?
Socrates: You are very kind to do so, my friend Meno.
Meno: (turns to the boy) You are aware that a servant may not own the amount of gold I would have to give you, should you win the day?
Boy: Yes, sir.
Meno: Therefore, I would have to give to you the freedom to own the money, before I could give you the money, would I not?
Boy: Yes, sir.
Meno: And in giving you freedom, I would be remiss if I did not give you a job and a coming out party of equal position with your wealth, would I not?
