“That’ll be 11.94,”the cashier told Sonny and he paid for his food and the cashier gave him back his change. Sonny looked at the change then held out his hand with the nickel and penny to Singer.
“Nickel and penny for your thoughts?” he asked, smirking.
“I really want a puppy,” Singer said then took the change and stuck it in his pocket.
When they got back to the van that night, Singer stuck the change into a side pouch in his suitcase before climbing into the van with the others.

“Alex! Long time no see. What’s up?” he asked, smiling to the younger boy. Alex shrugged and William sat there for a second then reached in his pocket and pulled out a penny. “Penny for your thoughts?”
“I want a puppy,” Singer pouted, then smiled to William as he stuck the penny in his pocket.

“Penny for your thoughts?” Singer’s mom asked, smiling at her son as she picked up a penny from the sidewalk and handed it to him.
“I want a puppy,” he pouted. She smiled, good naturedly at him as they kept walking down the street. When Singer got home he emptied the pouch form his suitcase into a jar and smiled before going to find something else to do.

Singer counted the rolls then sat them down and wrote the total down on a piece of paper. Johnson glanced at the paper then reached in his pocket.
“Don’t forget tax,” he whispered, smiling. Singer beamed up at him and took the five dollar bill that Johnson was handing him.
“Thanks.”

“Are you sure that’s the one you want?” the lady asked, looking at the puppy in the cage.
“Yes,” Singer beamed at the little puppy yelping in the cage as the lady opened the cage and pulled it out. She carried it to the front and he paid with the money he had just got from exchanging the change for dollars at the bank.

Singer walked into the house and smiled. “I’m home,” he called, smiling as he heard his sister come running.
“Alex!!!” she yelled running to him before she spotted the moving bundle in his arms and her eyes got wider. “Puppy!”
“Penny for your thoughts?” he asked, pulling out a penny from his pocket that was left over.
“I like your puppy,” she smiled and took the penny before reaching out to the puppy. The puppy yelped and happily licked her hand.
“I like him too.”
