Remember: Giving is a choice, and the giver chooses how much. A gift asks for nothing back.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Noor's walkNoor's Give jar held seven pretend coins. Her grandpa said, "Giving is a choice. Give a lot, give a little, or wait, and all of it is okay." Noor went for a walk. A storm had broken Mrs. Lund's fence, and a new plank and nails cost three coins, so Noor gave three. Kai's birthday was coming, and a card and a small gift cost two coins, so Noor gave two. At the animal shelter she gave one coin for food. She kept one coin for later. A gift asks for nothing back. Another giver might choose differently, because there is no one right amount.
