    Penny was the pride of Coinville. She helped children learn the importance of saving their coins.

    One sunny morning, Penny was placed on a shelf in a colorful toy store. There she met a little girl named Emma.

    Emma brought Penny home and placed her on her bedside table. She was excited to start saving. Her dad gave her a shiny quarter to put in Penny.

    Every week, Emma received a small allowance for doing her chores. She learned to save a portion of her allowance in Penny.

    When Jack saw Penny, he asked Emma what she was saving for. Emma explained her goal, and Jack decided to start saving too.

    Both had done a great job, and their piggy banks were full. Emma's parents suggested they take their coins to the bank.

    At the bank, they met a friendly teller who helped them count their savings. Emma was amazed to see how much she had saved!

    She was excited but also proud of her hard work. 'Thank you, Penny,' Emma said, giving Penny a gentle hug.
