Remember: Friends often want the same things, but spending is still your own choice. A kind no says thanks, says your plan and offers something else to do, and it goes both ways.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Maya and the sticker packsOn Saturday, Maya walked into Pennyfield square to meet Leo, Sam and Ana. She had eight coins in her pouch, saved a little each week for a paint set that cost ten coins. Eight and two more make ten, so she was nearly there. Then Leo called, "Look, sparkly sticker packs!" Each pack cost three coins. Leo bought one, then Sam, then Ana. "Come on, Maya, buy one!" said her friends. "Everyone has one!" Her tummy felt funny, because she liked them and hated being left out, which is a very normal feeling. Maya took a slow, deep breath. Then she smiled and said, "Not today, thanks, I am saving for a paint set, but I would love to look at your stickers!" "Cool!" said Leo with a grin. "Show us the paint set when you get it!" Ana tried again, but Maya said, "No thanks, I am saving," calm as before. "Race you round the fountain!" shouted Sam, and the race cost no coins at all. Two weeks later, Maya's jar held ten coins, and the paint set was hers to buy.
