The Coins

Understanding Key Concepts

  • Why was Harry excited when he received the shiny gold coins from his Grandpa?
    → Because he loved lollipops and thought he could use all the coins to buy a huge amount of them, fulfilling his sweet dreams.

  • What did the wise old owl teach Harry about money management?
    → The owl taught Harry to divide his money into three parts: needs, wants, and savings, to use his money wisely and plan for future goals and surprises.

  • How did the owl divide the coins into three parts? What does each part represent?

    • Biggest Part = Needs (important things like food, clothes, transport)

    • Middle Part = Wants (fun things like lollipops, toys, comics)

    • Last Part = Savings (for big goals or emergencies)

Critical Thinking & Real-Life Connection

  • Why is it important to save some money instead of spending it all at once?
    → So that we can have money for future goals (like a rocket toy), gifts, emergencies, or special events like a friend’s birthday.

  • How did Harry show that he understood the owl’s advice?
    → He decided to spend only a part of the money on lollipops, save some for his rocket, and use a portion to buy a gift for his grandfather.
  • Why do you think giving a gift to Grandpa made Harry feel good, even though it was part of his ‘wants’?
    → Because it showed thoughtfulness and generosity. Giving to someone he loved brought him happiness and satisfaction beyond just spending on himself.

  • How can saving money now help you in the future, just like it helped Harry plan for his rocket and rainy days?
    → Saving money helps us reach bigger goals, prepare for emergencies, and feel secure about the future instead of spending everything at once

Applying and Reflecting

  • Can you think of a time when you had to choose between spending and saving? What did you do?
    You please answer this yourself.

  • f you had 100 coins, how would you divide them using the owl’s method? What would you spend on, and what would you save for?
    → You please answer this yourself.
  • How does this story show that being wise with money doesn’t mean giving up joy—it means enjoying it in a smarter way?   Harry still bought lollipops and gifts, but he also saved for his dream rocket and was ready for future surprises. He had fun and felt proud.
