The Last Coin in the Jar

Mia keeps a small glass jar on her desk.

Every evening, she puts her coins in it.

But last month, she got a phone app for paying.

Now she buys coffee and bus tickets with her phone.

The jar stays empty for many days.

One morning, Mia wants to buy a sweet bread at the corner shop.

The shop is very old, and the owner does not take phone money.

Mia looks in her bag, but she finds no coins.

She feels sad and walks home.

At home, she opens her jar and finds one last coin.

She smiles and thinks, "Maybe I need both."
