More Tales from the Credit Union

My friend, Becky, teaches second grade. Her students were showing off their loot after receiving gifts from the credit union yesterday. One child, Becky thought, appeared less excited than she should have been under the circumstances. When Becky asked her what was wrong the girl said she was grateful for the presents, but all she really wanted was a book. Another child piped up that he, too, had asked for a book and not received one. Across the room a third little boy pulled two Dr. Seuss books out of his gift bag and gave them to his two classmates. Yup, they do sometimes listen when you explain about giving being better than receiving.
