My skateboard is old.
It is broken.
I need a new one.
I tell my dad.
Dad says,"You need money. Do you have any?"
I get my money jar.
"How about this?"I ask.
"You need to save more money for skateboard,"Dad says.
I say,"I will do chores and earn lots of money."
I make a list of chores that will make me money.
First,I feed the dog, but the bag is too big.
I empty the dishwasher,
but the dishes are too heavy.
I clean my room.
Mom pays me some money.
I sell lemonade.
I get more money.
I save lots of money in my money jar.
Dad says,"You need a savings account."
Dad takes me to the bank.
We see the manager.
Dad writes on some bank papers.
I write my name.
They take my money jar.
I am upset.
Dad says,"Don't worry."
They pour my money into a machine.
It counts my money.
I get a book.
It tells me how much money I have.
"Hey, Dad,"I ask.
"Can I get a skateboard yet?"
Dad says,"Not yet. You must save more money."
Every day I do chores to earn more money.
Finally, I save enough money for a new skateboard.
But I don't want that anymore.
Now I want a Robot Dinosaur.
I say,"Dad, I am so glad I saved my money!"
