Tom was seven years old. He got some money from his parents every week. He bought a lot of things from the shops, but he didn’t need them really. One day his mother gave him a notebook and said, "Now, Tom, when you buy anything. I want you to write it down in this notebook and write down how much you have paid for it, too. Then you can look at it again when your money's all gone, and you won't waste so much money next time. After a week, Tom said to his mother, "Do you know, Mummy, before I spend any money now, I really stop and think.” His mother was very pleased and thought, “Well, he's learned the value of money now.” But she wasn't so happy when he added. “Yes, before I buy anything, I always ask myself, Am I going to be able to spell that in my notebook?”
