Mom gave Lulu and Tiffin five dollars.
"Please go to the shop and buy me some bananas, apples and eggs," she said.
"Be careful and don't lose the money," she said.
Lulu and Tiffin went to the bus stop.
"Do you remember what Mom said?" asked Lulu.
"She said she wants bananas, apples and eggs and then she said be careful and don't lose the money."
At the bus stop, there was a little boy in a red hat. He was crying.
"What's the matter?" asked Tiffin.
"I've lost my money! I can't ride on the bus.
I can't go home!"
Lulu and Tiffin looked at each other.
"Oh dear," said Lulu.
"We should help him," said Tiffin.
They gave the boy one dollar for the bus ride.
"Thank you thank you!" said the boy in the red hat.
They got on the bus and went to town with four dollars.
When they got off the bus, they saw a cat.
He looked very hungry.
"Miaow," said the cat sadly.
"Poor cat!" said Lulu.
"He's hungry!" said Tiffin.
Lulu and Tiffin looked at each other.
"Oh dear," said Tiffin.
"We should help him," said Lulu.
They bought a fish from the fish shop and gave it to the cat.
"Miaow miaow," said the cat happily.
They walked down the road with three dollars.
Near the supermarket, they saw an old man.
He was selling pictures.
"Please buy a picture," he said.
"I need money to buy food."
The old man looked very sad.
Lulu and Tiffin looked at each other.
"Oh dear," said Lulu.
"We should help him," said Tiffin.
They bought two pictures to help the old man buy food.
"Thank you thank you!" said the old man.
Now they only had one dollar left.
They both looked at it.
"Do you remember what Mom said?" asked Tiffin.
"She said she wants bananas, apples and eggs and then she said be careful and don't lose the money," said Lulu.
There was a big gust of wind.
The last dollar flew out of Lulu's hand!
"Catch it!" Lulu and Tiffin shouted.
But the dollar rolled down the road very fast.
It rolled and rolled and fell into a drain!
"Oh no!" they shouted.
"We've lost the money!" they shouted.
Now they had no money.
They sat on the floor and looked very sad.
A car drove up to them.
Inside was a man.
Sitting next to him was the boy in the red hat.
The boy who had cried at the bus stop.
"Did you give this boy one dollar for his bus ride?"
asked the man.
"Yes," said Lulu.
"That was very kind of you," said the man.
The man took six dollars out of his wallet.
"This is for you," he said.
"Thank you, thank you!" said Lulu and Tiffin.
Lulu and Tiffin went to the supermarket.
They bought bananas,
apples,
eggs,
and a big cake.
