“Twenty-five cents,” answered Bobby. “How much do you have?”
“Three cents,” answered Betty. “Give me some of yours.”
Bobby looked puzzled. He knew that part of the money was Betty’s. But he did not know what to do with the twenty-five cent piece he had.
“Let me help you,” said Mother. “I’ll change the quarter. Then you and Betty can divide your money.”
So Mother gave Bobby two dimes and five pennies for his quarter.
Then Bobby and Betty worked and worked.
At last they saw how to divide it.
For study and play:
Penny and penny
Laid up will be many.
