Priscilla woke up feeling fresh one morning. She looked out of the window and said, “What a lovely day! The sun seems to greet me,” she chirped. “Yes, and why not? Happy Birthday, dear,” said her grandmother, holding out a velvet coin purse for her. Priscilla liked the little roses etched on it. “Thank you, Grandma!” she exclaimed. She opened the purse and saw some money in it. She wondered what to do with it. Her cousin said, “Give the money to charity.” Her father said, “Put it in the piggy bank.” Her grandfather said, “Buy something for someone you love.” So, she put some money in the piggy bank. Then she went to the florist and bought five roses: two for her grandparents, two for her parents and one for her cousin. With the remaining money, she bought a few buns for the stray dogs near her house and fed them.
