Alvin and the Bag of Coins
When you finish, read the whole story aloud.
Alvin manages a busy bank. A boy comes in with a heavy bag. His mother stands beside him. The boy puts his bag on the table. Suddenly, coins fall onto the floor. One rolls under Alvin’s chair. Alvin bends down to pick it up. The boy helps him find the other coins. They put them all back on the table. Alvin helps the boy count his money. “You have enough to buy a bike!” The boy takes a picture from his bag. “This is the bike my sister wants.” “I saved my money for her birthday.” Alvin smiles at the kind young boy. He changes the coins into notes. The boy holds the money carefully. “Now we can go to the bike shop!”
