There was a stupid boy named Max. His dad wanted to see what he would do if he gave him a dollar, so Max’s dad gave him a dollar the next day. Max was so excited. As he walked to school that day, the dollar in his hand, a little girl came up to him and said, “I will give you 2 shiny quarters for that dollar.” Max figured that 2 was better than 1, so he willingly traded. When Max reached the school, a little boy came up to him and said, “I’ll give you 3 dimes for those 2 quarters.” Max traded again. Then his teacher came up to him, and knowing that he was so dumb, asked him to trade his 3 dimes for 4 nickels. Again, he traded. As Max was walking home from school that day, a old man came up to him and said, “Will you trade those 4 nickels for these 5 pennies?” Max traded. When Max got home, his dad asked his where his money was. Max showed him and Max never got money again.
