(B)
When Anita’s mom picked her up from school, the car was making strange noises. “Is the car going to break down? I need to walk six dogs before dinner.” Anita asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get home in time for your job.” Mom said. She planned to have the car fixed tomorrow morning. “Your dad and I have saved some money in the bank for family emergencies. We can take the money out of the bank whenever we need it.” Mom said. This encouraged Anita, who made money by walking dogs, to open her own bank account.
A month later, Anita received her first bank statement, showing how much money she had and how much interest her savings had made. Her dad explained the bank lent out her money and shared some of the interest that borrowers paid.
“Wow! I earn money by walking dogs, and my money earns money by helping other people.” Anita felt proud of her growing savings. But when she saw her friend Maurice’s cool skateboard, she couldn’t decide whether to buy one or save money. A few months later, Anita’s dad lost his job. Anita offered her savings to help, but dad managed a small smile. “Thank you, Anita. You can save that money for your own emergency.” Her mom and dad decided to cut their cost and cancel their vacation. Anita realized the importance of planning ahead.
One rainy day, Anita’s umbrella broke while walking the dogs, leaving her completely wet. Anita told her mother, “I had a rainy-day emergency. It’s time to use some of my savings to buy a new umbrella.” She understood the value of being prepared for unexpected situations with money.
