Sandy looked up with a worried frown. He searched his pocket, pulled out a few coins and pushed them back. Within two weeks he had finished his pocket money yet again. His father’s warning filled his ears, “This time you will not get additional money.”Sandy was never happy with his monthly allowance. His parents took care of all his needs and gave him a fixed amount of ` 50 for eating out sandwiches, ice-cream and soda at the school canteen. But Sandy was always asking for more.“You don’t give me enough money to spend. The meager amount you give me, got over in just 17 days and believe me dad, I did not spend much,” complained Sandy to his father.“But son, why do you eat out every day? Try relishing the nutritious lunch your mother packs for you,” urged Sandy’s father.“Don’t be a miser, dad. A burger costs just ` 10.”“And what about that soft drink, another 10 rupees; your pocket money is over by the 15th of every month and…”

Sandy left the room with a sad face.Sandy’s father was surprised at his son’s behaviour. He turned to his wife and said, “Sudha, did I say something wrong to Sandy? Why did he behave like that?”“See, his pocket money is enough. It is just that he is being careless and extravagant. He needs to understand the value of money,” replied his wife.So, Sandy’s mother and father made a plan for him. According to the plan Sandy was supposed to work for the extra money he demanded every month. Sudha explained, “You will have to help out in daily chores in order to gain points and for every 10 points, you will get ` 50 besides your pocket money and you can do anything with your earnings.”

“How could dad do this to me,” he mumbled to himself. “I have my homework and project work too!”He worked hard all through the weekend. Sunday evening, Sandy was a rich boy with ` 175 in his pocket.“Sandy what will you do with this money? Why don’t you take us out for a movie? With ` 175 you can take us to Radha theatre, it is quite economical,” asked his mother.At this Sandy exclaimed, “Mom this is my hard-earned money! I can’t spend it like that. I promise I’ll take you in the coming month when I’ll have more money.”

But, that night Sandy couldn’t help thinking. Yes! He had learned the value of money because he had realised that it was hard to earn.He decided to spend his pocket money judiciously. Next morning, he left his hard-earned money at home and happily ate the delicious paratha, paneer rolls etc. his mom had prepared with so much love.
