Remember: There is no hurry with a gift of coins. Look, wait, and choose slowly, because a wish that stays is often the right one.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Priya's eight coinsOn her birthday, Gran gave Priya eight pretend coins. Her feet wanted to run to the shops, but Gran said, "There is no hurry. Coins do not run away." Priya made a plan: look first, and buy later. She saw a toy boat for six coins, sweets for two coins and a paint set for five coins. After three days she had not spent a single coin. At first the boat was the biggest wish, but after three sleeps the paint set wish had stayed and grown. She bought the paint set for five coins, and three coins were left. She painted a big, sunny picture, and choosing slowly felt happy.
