Once upon a time, there lived a boy and a girl in a house with a big clock on the wall. They loved to play by the window and watch the fish swimming in the pond outside. One day, the boy decided to go fishing, but he couldn't find his fishing rod. So, he got creative and used the clock's long pendulum as a fishing line. To his surprise, he caught a big fish with it! The girl was so amazed she asked, "How did you do that?" The boy replied, "I guess time really is money!" And they both laughed and went to cook their catch for dinner.

Reflections

1. What did the boy use to catch the fish?
2. Why was the girl amazed by what the boy did?
3. How did the boy's clever idea prove that time is money?
