Alexander was rich last Sunday. He had a whole dollar. But then he bought some bubble gum. And he made some bets with his brothers that he did not win. And he even rented a friend's snake for an hour. Now, Alexander only has a pocket full of bus tokens. Having a dollar is a very big deal, but making it last is much harder than it looks! When you have money, you want to buy a walkie-talkie or maybe a half-made model car. But somehow, those pennies and nickels just seem to magically slip away. This funny story shows exactly what happens when you get a little bit of money and a whole lot of silly ideas. You will laugh out loud as Alexander tries his best to save, only to watch his riches disappear coin by coin. It is a perfect tale for anyone who has ever wondered where their allowance went.
