Max and the Big Truck
INTRO
Max got five shiny coins as a gift.
Grandpa gave them to him and said,
“These are for you, Max!”
Max held them tight and said,
“Wow! They’re so shiny!”
CANDY TEMPTATION
At the shop, Max saw a big jar of colourful candy.
Red, blue, green - so many colours!
Max whispered to his mom,
“Mmm, candy looks yummy.”
Mom smiled and said, “Yes, it does!”
KEEP LOOKING
“Keep looking, Max,” said Mom.
“Maybe you’ll find something even better.”
Max walked down the aisle.
Then he saw a big, bright red truck with giant wheels!
“Vroom! Vroom!” Max said, his eyes wide.
BIG CHOICE
Max looked at the candy.
Then he looked at the big truck.
“Candy now… or truck later?” he asked.
He thought and thought.
SAVING JAR
Max put the coins in his jar at home.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
“I’m going to wait,” he said proudly.
“I want the big truck.”
WAITING TIME
Weeks went by.
Every week, Max added more coins to his jar.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
The jar filled up slowly.
Until one day, Max had ten shiny coins!
BIG REWARD
Zoom! Zoom! The truck raced across the floor.
Max laughed and clapped his hands.
“Waiting was worth it!” he said with a big smile.
WHAT MAX LEARNED 💡
Sometimes waiting brings something even better than spending right away.
ASK YOUR CHILD ⁉️
Would you wait for a big toy, or buy candy now?
Put two jars on the table: one for Save, one for Spend.
