Hello, everyone! (Let them respond.) Are you ready for our story today? (Let them respond.) Excellent!
One morning, a woman gave her young son and daughter baskets and sent them to town for food. (Show the two baskets.) She told her daughter to go to the market and get bread and told her son to go down to the lake and get some fish from the fishermen there. She gave each of them a coin and said, “Buy as much food as you can with these but be careful. This is all that I have, so if you lose it we won’t have anything to eat tonight.”
