(二)
Mary saw her mom spend money on food. She saw her dad spend money on new tools. That all seemed(看
似) funny to Mary. Money is just green paper, Mary thought. Why do people give my parents food and tools for
green paper?
Mary took out her big box of crayons. She colored some paper green. She took her green paper to the toy
store in town. “I want to buy a toy,” Mary said to the clerk. “Here is some green paper.”
The lady at the store said, “Sorry. That's not real money. It is just green paper.” Mary asked her dad about money.
He said that money was a special kind of green paper. He also said you have to go to work to make money. That
is the only green paper you can spend.
“Can I work and make some money?” Mary asked.
“Yes,” said her dad. “Wash the car, and I will pay you.”
Mary washed the car and got six dollars from her dad.
She went back to the store and bought a toy.
Now, she knows why her mom and dad work for money.
