Leah gives a loonie to her daughter Sarah. The little girl goes outside and returns 10 minutes later without the coin. Wondering what she had done with the money, Leah asks, "Where is the loonie I gave you, darling?"

"I gave it to an old lady." says Sarah.

"Oh you sweet girl. I am so proud. Tomorrow you will have a toonie."

The next day, true to her word, Leah gives Sarah a toonie. Off Sarah goes outside and returns later without the coin.

"What did you do with the toonie?"

"Oh, today I saw the same old woman," begins Sarah as her mother beemed at her, "and I bought a bigger ice cream."
