Lila was a curious 5-year-old Asian girl.

She wondered, 'What is money and how does it work?'

Her parents explained, 'Money is what we use to buy things.'

Lila discovered she had a piggy bank full of money.

She decided to save some money for something special.

Lila's mom taught her how to count her money.

She learned to add up the value of different coins.

Lila practiced using her money at a pretend store.

She felt proud when she could pay for her own things.

Lila now understood the importance of saving and spending wisely.
