Read the story first.

Ten silver coinsA woman had ten silver coins. Every evening she laid them on the table and counted them. One evening there were only nine! Her house was small and dim, so she lit a lamp. She swept the floor with her broom and looked behind the water jar, under the mat and along the walls. At last, in a crack between the stones, something glinted. It was the coin! She called her friends and neighbors to come and celebrate. Jesus told this story to the people around him.
