One sunny day, Lucia played in her grandmother's garden when she found a shiny coin.
The coin sparkled. Suddenly, it spoke, 'Hello! I'm a magic coin. What's your name?'
'I'm Lucia,' she said, surprised. 'What are you?'
The coin smiled. 'I'm a coin, and I'm here to teach you about money.'
'Money? What's money?' Lucia asked curiously.
'Money is what people use to buy things they need and want,' the coin explained.
'Let's go on an adventure,' said the coin. It glowed and transported them to a coin factory!
In the factory, they saw machines making coins. 'This is where coins are made,' the coin said.
Next, they visited a bank. 'This is where people save their money,' the coin explained.
At the store, the coin showed how people spend money to buy things like toys and food.
'Remember, your parents work to earn money,' the coin said. 'And saving helps buy things later.'
Lucia smiled, grateful for the lesson. 'Thank you, magic coin. Now I know what money is!'
