THORNY TWIG FINDS PENNIES

ONE DAY WHEN THORNY TWIG WAS WALKING WITH HIS FATHER THEY SAW A PENNY LYING ON THE GROUND. TWIGMAN TOLD THORNY TWIG TO PICK IT UP . THORNY SAID “DAD, IT IS JUST A PENNY!” TWIGMAN SAID, “IF A PENNY YOU SHOULD FIND, KEEP THIS THOUGHT WITHIN YOUR MIND. ONE IS MONEY. TWO IS MORE. A THIRD ONE BRINGS GOOD LUCK GALORE!”

THORNY PICKED UP THE PENNY AND SAID, “BUT THIS IS ONLY ONE PENNY!” TWIGMAN TOLD HIM THAT WAS ALL RIGHT THEY MIGHT FIND MORE.

SOON THEY FOUND ANOTHER PENNY AND TWIGMAN HAD TO REPEAT, “IF A PENNY YOU SHOULD FIND, KEEP THIS THOUGHT WITHIN YOUR MIND. ONE IS MONEY. TWO IS MORE. THE THIRD ONE BRINGS GOOD LUCK GALORE.” THORNY GRUMBLED A LITTLE BUT HE PICKED UP THE COIN.

WHEN THEY SAW A THIRD PENNY ON THE GROUND THORNY WAS SURPRISED AND NOW THORNY WAS BEGINNING TO BELIEVE HIS DAD SO HE QUICKLY PICKED UP THE THIRD PENNY.

IN A LITTLE WHILE THEY FOUND A QUARTER AND THORNY WAS HAPPY TO PICK THAT UP AS TWIGMAN SAID, “SEE, I TOLD YOU THERE WOULD BE GOOD LUCK!”

WHEN TWIGMAN TOLD THORNY IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME THORNY SAID, “GEE, DAD I WANT TO LOOK FOR THREE MORE PENNIES!”
