Oliver had a problem. His 

mom's birthday was coming 

up and he wanted to get her 

the perfect gift. 

Oliver was walking home from school 

one day. As he walked past Esperanza's 

Grab-n-Go, he spotted a gift in the 

window that he knew his mother would 

love: A shiny, new snow globe. He 

picked it up and walked over to the man 

at the counter. 

"How much is this?" he asked the man, pointing to 

the snow globe in his hand. "Four dollars and 

ninety-nine cents," the man answered. Extremely 

excited, Oliver ran home to see how much money 

he had in his piggy bank. 

Oliver counted all of his money and found out that 

he had five dollars and three cents, just enough!

The next day, Oliver put the money in his pocket 

before he left for school. In the lunchroom, Oliver 

spotted a kindergartner crying. He walked over to 

the boy and asked: 

"Why are you crying?" 

"I forgot my lunch money at home," the boy 

wailed. 

Oliver remembered the five dollars he had in his 

pocket. He knew he had a decision to make. If he gave 

the boy his money, he would not be able to buy the 

snow globe for his mom. Oliver knew what the right 

choice was. He gave the money to the boy who was 

able to buy lunch. Little did Oliver know, doing the 

right thing would always come back in the end. 

The kindergarten boy left lunch with a full belly. In the 

hallway, he noticed a 5th grade girl had dropped her 

library books. He stopped to help her pick them up.

After getting all of her 

books, the girl started 

back to her class and 

along the way, caught 

her 3rd grade teacher 

cleaning up after a class 

science experiment. She 

decided to stop and help 

Mr. Rodriguez clean up 

the classroom. 

After cleaning up, Mr. Rodriguez went to the 

library to return the science books he 

borrowed for the class experiment. As he was 

leaving, he noticed a 4th grade student who 

was frustrated with his math homework. Mr. 

Rodriguez decided to sit down with the 

student to explain the steps of long division.
