Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Sarah who wanted to save her money. Every day she would put her quarter, nickel, dime, penny and even the occasional dollar into her piggy bank. Sarah was so proud of herself for being able to save all of her money. One day, she decided to go to the store and buy herself a special treat. She opened her piggy bank and counted her money. To her surprise, she had saved enough to buy anything she wanted! She was so happy that she had been able to save all of her coins and dollars. From that day on, Sarah was determined to keep saving her money so she could buy even more special treats in the future. The end.
