Benny had five pennies to spend. His family told him to buy something beautiful, good to eat, nice to wear, and the dog and cat said their respective woofs and meows. So, Benny went off to spend his money. Is that a good lesson? I mean, that is what I would do, but shouldn't we teach children about saving? Anyway, Benny buys a beautiful rose, a cookie, a paper hat, a meaty bone, and a fish with each of his pennies. He takes them home and gives them all the the person/animal that asked for it. He keeps nothing for himself. I suppose that it is good lesson to be charitable even if all the money is gone. I would be interested in the thoughts of the children on each item only costing a penny. Would that be believable for them?
