Why were boomtown merchants able to sell their products for so much money and how do you know this? passage;During the California Gold Rush of 1849, the world’s supply of gold more than doubled, and hundreds of thousands of people rushed to California to find their share. Boomtowns pooped up to accommodate the visitors. A boomtown is a community that receives sudden and explosive growth and development. San Francisco had around two-hundred residents in 1846, and about 36,000 in 1852. The few merchants in these boomtowns sold goods for more than ten times what they cost back East. For example, a single pound of flour sold for as much as $17.00. Not everyone who joined I the California Gold Rush got rich, but most of the boomtown merchants did.

Is there and options ? ?

Era o zi ploioasa. eram la scoala iar un om impartea bilete pentru un circ, bineinteles ca am luat si eu unul. pe bilet scria ca circul va avea loc chiar maine la ora 15: 00, iar intrarea costa 15 lei. eram nerabdatoare sa merg.a doua zi am ajuns, mi-am platit biletul, mi-am luat o vata de zahar si am luat loc sa asist spectacolul. totul se desfasura frumos, claunii dansau, era totul amuzant. se intamplase ca, un sarpe sa scape din cusca sa, si sa vina spre public, ce a urmat mai departe a fost intradevar comic. toti oamenii s-au speriat si s-au urcat pe scaune, urland cat ii tineau plamanii, dar sarpele venise doar sa ia o bucata de popcorn de jos sa o manance, iar apoi a inceput sa faca scamatorii. a fost totul atat de amuzant, deoarece oamenii erau speriati iar sarpele  nu avea nici o vina.spectacolul s-a terminat iar eu am mers acasa si le-am povestit parintilor mei, care si ei la randul lor, au ras cu pofta.

If you could reword this for me i could try and answer
