I found a quarter on the sidewalk. Boy, am I excited! I’m feeling mighty, mighty rich and I don’t plan to hide it.

I think I’ll buy a baseball. Hmmmm. I don’t have quite enough. Instead I’ll buy a rag doll. Boy, this shopping stuff is tough.

Okay, I’ll buy a pizza. No, I’m still a little shy. How ’bout a bag of onion rings? Well, it was worth a try.

I’ve searched for half the day now for one thing I can afford, and now I have to tell you that I’m growing rather bored.

I guess I’ll buy some gumballs so that I can finally end it. It’s amazing how long a quarter lasts when you can’t afford to spend it.

1. The kid in this poem doesn’t find it easy to spend their quarter as it’s not enough for a lot of the things they’d like to buy. But they still end up with something very valuable. What do you think it is?
