Grandpa gave me a piggy bank so I could
save my money! He gave my sister one too! Grandma gave us some money to
put in it! My sister put hers in her bank right away, but I thought it
would be cool to hold mine in my pocket for a while! The money was
still in my pocket when my friends came by later to go to the store. I
bought candy, gum, and a soda. I wanted to put the rest of my money in
my bank but I only had three pennies left!
I asked my mom for more money. She said I had to work for it! I cleaned
the living room and she gave me some money. I forgot to put in in my
piggy bank and I lost it!
At the
grocery store, my sister bought some trading cards with her money. I
did not have any so I cried! Mom bought the cards for me but she said I
would have to do chores for them! I did a lot of chores! Finally, mom
said I had earned my cards. I still did not have money for my bank
though. She said I could do more chores to earn more money. I worked
and worked! Mom gave me some money! I went right upstairs and put it in
my piggy bank! I really learned a lesson about money!
