Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Leo's present for GranIt was Gran's birthday, and Leo's coin jar was empty. His mom said, "A present does not have to cost coins. You have time, and a gift of time means spending it on someone." Leo went to Gran's house. Her garden was full of fallen leaves and her back was a little stiff, so Leo raked the leaves. Then he sat next to her and read her a story. He had made her a card too. He folded a paper in half, drew Gran's garden on the front, and wrote a message inside. Time did not cost Leo a single coin, and still he gave a lot.
