THE END
BUY-BUY FOR NOW
âKids, itâs time for this yearâs fundraising effort,â Mrs. Feinsilver told the class. âWe are all going to work together to try to earn funds to pay for new playground equipment.â
âAre we selling wrapping paper again?â Michael Williams wanted to know. âBecause last year, my grandma said that she bought so much wrapping paper, she couldnât afford to buy any gifts to wrap!â
âNo, not wrapping paper,â Mrs. Feinsilver said. âItâsâ¦â
âI hope itâs not candy,â Jenna Douglas said. âThe gooey chocolate always melts in my backpack when Iâm delivering the orders, and people end up spending money for mush.â
âNope, not candy either,â Mrs. Feinsilver told the girl. âThis year, itâsâ¦â
âIt had better not be seeds,â Ralph Botner announced. âMy mom said our garden is already full of plants that arenât growing.â
âHow can it be full of plants if they arenât growing?â Jenna asked him.
âI dunno,â Ralph told her. âItâs just what my mom says.â
âMy mom says we donât need any more kitchen gadgets.â Jason Reiss said. âMy big sister sold choppers and scoopers and peelers and stuff, and none of it really worked. Thereâs a whole drawer near our sink thatâs full of that junk, and we canât open it because the only thing we didnât buy was the stuck drawer opener-er.â
âItâs not kitchen gadgets,â Mrs. Feinsilver reassured the boy. âRather, we will be sellingâ¦â
âI know! Itâs probably gift cards good for local merchants!â Reilly McNeil guessed. âMy cousinâs school sold those, and we got a card redeemable for $25 worth of taffy. The school got $5, and I got⦠three cavities!â
âNot gift cards, Reilly,â Mrs. Feinsilver said. âIâm glad to hear that youâre all so enthusiastic and full of ideas, but we are actually going to sellâ¦
âMagazines!â Eli Newsom offered. âSubscriptions to publications that nobody wants, nobody needs, and nobody reads, as my father calls them.â
âWell then, your father will be glad that weâre not offering magazines,â Mrs. Feinsilver said. âNow, Iâve been trying to tell you what we are selling⦠but you all keep guessing. So, Iâll let everyone have a chance to guess before I reveal what it is.â
Ideas flowed from all over the classroom.
âButtons!â
âMugs!â
âT-shirts!â
âFlowers!â
âGrand pianos!â
âPopcorn!â
âLive lobsters!â
âLollipops!â
âKitchen stools!â
âToadstools!â
âSore throats!â
âZebras!â
âOkay, thatâs enough guessing!â Mrs. Feinsilver said. âWhat we are selling this year is⦠kindness!â
âKindness?â Lily Harper repeated. âHow do you sell kindness?â
âWell,â Mrs. Feinsilver said, âwe will all go around the neighborhood and do favors for people. Water their lawns. Walk their dogs. Things like that. And we will charge them each a small sum.â
âBut Mrs. Feinsilver,â Eli Newsom said. âMy dad says youâre supposed to give kindness away.â
âRight,â Reilly McNeil added. âWe should do those things out of the goodness of our hearts.â
