Gifts at the templeJesus sat in the temple in Jerusalem, near the big brass chests where people put their gifts. A rich man came and poured in handfuls of heavy coins with a loud clink. Many others put in large amounts too. Then a poor widow came in a plain, faded robe. She put in two tiny coins, the smallest money there was, and hardly anyone noticed. But Jesus noticed. He called his friends and told them that the poor widow had put in more than all the others. They had given what they had to spare, but she, out of her need, had given everything she had to live on.
