Dad, I need a dollar.
What do you need it for?
I want to get an ice cream cone
from Mr. Jim's old store.
Tell me, have you earned it?
What have you done for me?
But Daddy, can't you get it
off of your money tree?
Ha, now that's a good one.
I wish that it was true.
But if you clean the table off
I'll give this bill to you.
I've cleaned the table off.
May I go to the store?
Yes, you have earned a dollar now.
How would you like some more?
I'll bet you one dollar
that when I flip this dime
it lands on heads instead of tails.
We'll bet just this one time.
If I win I'll have two
to take to Jim's old store.
Yep, I'll bet you this dollar bill
so I can win one more.
Well, it landed on heads.
I guess I won this one.
Now you give me your dollar bill.
But Dad, now I have none!
Yes, you should not gamble
what you have worked hard for;
'Cause money doesn't grow on trees,
And now you have no more. |
