Output the explanation. . Response in English: The phrase a penny for your thoughts is an old English expression that dates back to the 16th century. This expression is used to ask someone what they are thinking about, usually when they are lost in thought or daydreaming. It is thought to have originated from Sir Thomas Mores book, Four Last Things, published in 1535, in which he wrote: It often happeth, that the very face sheweth the mind walking a pilgrimage, in such wise that other folk sodainly say to them, a peny for your thought. The idea being that the persons thoughts might be so valuable, someone would be willing to purchase them for a small sum. At the time, a penny was a significant amount of money, and was just a way to humorously ask what someone was thinking about. .
