Sal liked playing in the backyard garden where her Grandpa’s old car was parked. Her friends also loved to join her and play in the car. One day Sal overheard her father talking over the phone. She heard him say,“Can you please come and tow the car to the land fill?” Sal’s face started to turn red and she clutched her hands together. She had to do something quickly. When Sal’s friends came over to play with her, her face was downcast. When she told them why, they became sad too. Sam said,“What if we hide it?” Sara said,“But it’s very heavy, how can we move it?” Solomon said,“Can’t we think of something else?” Sal said,“I know! We’ll decorate the garden with it. All we need is some money for supplies.” The friends put all their money together on a tissue. After they counted the money, they went to the store. Would they have enough?
