Did George get anything for his fifty pence? What?Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or dad, of course, provides a regular supply of pocket money,but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income.With some children, small sums go a long way. If 50 pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, 50 pence is a small priceto pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the 50 pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there. I gave him 50 pence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead he bought himself 50pence worth of trouble. On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his 50 pence and it bounced along the pavement andthen disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. He could not find his 50 pence piece anywhere, and what is more, he could not get his arm out. A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soapand butter, but George was firmly stuck.
