Ria and Jo save for a tentRia and Jo were best friends who lived next door. They both wanted a striped tent for the garden. The tent cost twenty pretend coins, which is a lot for one child. Ria could save three coins a week, and Jo could save two. "Alone, I would need seven weeks," said Ria. "Alone, I would need ten weeks," said Jo. Then came an idea: "What if we save together?" They found one big jar and a notebook and agreed on a plan first. The tent would be for both of them. Every Saturday they put their coins in the jar. After four Saturdays the jar held twenty coins, and the tent was theirs.
