Aesop's Fables I
We've all read Aesop's Fables in one form or another. These interesting stories captivate our attention and always leave us with a moral. One of those morals is hidden in the story below. Can you find it?
Young Creation Smith went to the bank on a trip from school. The trip was meant to show children how banks worked and to instill in children the concept of saving. Creation was surprised and told the teller explaining the facilities offered by the bank, "Mr. Teller, I'm here all the time! My mom has an account here!"
"Really? That's great!" said Mr. Teller. "What's her name?"
Creation said his mom's name was Mrs. Need Smith.
