The lesson
Money is real. It can buy things you like. If you lose it, it is gone.
Ben got two coins from his gran. He put them straight into his money box. Now they are safe.
Keep money safe. Use a purse, a wallet, or a money box. You can also give it to a grown-up to hold.
If you drop money, it can get lost. Someone else might pick it up. Then you cannot buy what you wanted.
Money has value, so keep it safe and don't lose it.
