This story follows Nora and Dennis, two young friends who embark on a journey of saving money. As the days pass, both children consistently stash away their nickels and dimes despite the temptation of toys at the mall. By Saturday, their combined savings amounted to $1.35, encouraging them to aim for a larger goal. With sustained effort throughout the summer, their savings grow to ten dollars, allowing them to purchase a bongo drum, thus illustrating the rewards of patience and financial discipline.
