THE DANCING MONEY BOX

Many children may have never considered the need to save part of the money they receive each day for school or the money visitors to their homes give them as gifts. The dancing money box tells story of Ama and her sister, Vida, their mother, Auntie Alice and their Uncle, Akuete. Ama is the major character. The language is simple, the plot is uncomplicated and the diction is appropriate. Uncle Akuete makes an promise to his two nieces, ''save 50,000 and win a money box which sings and dances. Vida and Ama try to outdo each other to win the prize but the temptation of toffees, ice cream and also contributing some money to help pay grandma's hospital bill threaten the girls ability to win the prize. We also see how Ama uses her spare time to make beautiful smiling dolls which she sells. Parent should read and teach him or her the habit of finding his talents and developing them to earn income which probably may lead him to his future profession. One important lesson in the story is that, we don't have to rest till we acheive the best in life. Vida had the chance to save up to the 50,000, but couldn't because she compared the amount she had with Ama's own. Vida believed Ama couldn't win the box since she thought there was no way she could save again to receive the money box after she gave out all her intial savings to her mum to send grandma to the hospital. Also, she wasn't disciplined enough as she ended up using some of the money on toffees and ice cream. This calls attention to the fact that saving requires a high sense of discipline and self control. Finally, it would be great for every one to know more about the dancing money box and find out how to come up with brilliant ideas to generate some little money for future use.
