A present for TessKai's little sister Tess had a birthday on Saturday. Kai's Spend jar held seven coins. Tess drew all day long, and her sketchbook was full, with no page left. At the gift stall, a sketchbook cost four coins, a paint set cost nine coins and a drum cost five coins. Kai liked the drum, but Tess liked drawing, not drumming. The paints cost nine, which was too many for seven coins. The sketchbook fit Tess and it fit the coins. Kai paid four coins, and three coins stayed in his jar. A good present fits the person, and fits the coins in the jar.
