A short children's story about talking money. The morel of the story is you should always keep track of it. Hope you like it. :)

 

 

 

 

Goonie Toonie, was walking down the street acting loony. He was singing and dancing, zigging and zagging across the side-walk and prancing.

In the opposite direction a large piece of paper was strolling toward’s Gonnie Tonnie, the closer the piece of paper come to the shiny toonie, the louder he heard him sing.

“This guy is a real ding-ding,” he had said, as he had stopped to scratch his head.

“I’m a goonie toonie, and I’m really loony… I’m bouncin’ around, all across this town, I say hello to everyone, always having merry fun. Yeah I’m truly loony, that’s why my name is Goonie Toonie!” Goonie Toonie yelled out, in a very loud shout.

Goonie Toonie, was fairly puny, standing now next to the big blue piece of paper, whom seemed big enough to be a policeman in a caper. The toonie, stopped being loony, and he also stopped singing, because now he was thinking, as he had stared at the big piece of paper, whom was big enough to be in a caper.

“Hey, I knew I would run into someone like you someday. You are the five dollar bill, you are far more valuable than me five dollar bill,” Goonie Toonie said, as he put his hand’s on this round silver head.

“Hi, my name is Clive Five,” said the five dollar bill, as he shook Goonie Toonie’s hand of his own goo will.

“My name is Goonie Toonie, and my human owner got mad and she threw me,” the toonie said sadly, when only one minute ago he was so happy.

“Why?” Clive Five asked after he let out a sad sigh. “What did you do?” he asked as he thought it through.

“One week ago she, had tried to deposit me, into a device or machine which make’s coffee, but at the time I was covered with sticky toffee. I was unable to fit in the coin slot, so she threw me as far as she could and as I flew I yelled back thanks allot!” said the sad toonie. Since then I have called myself Goonie Toonie, and now I am very loony.

“Can I tell you something too?” Clive Five asked as he paced back and forth not quite knowing what to say or do.

“Although I was not thrown out I was forgotten, the back pocket of his jean’s were town and rotten. He had forgotten about that, as a matter of fact. He put me into that same pocket, it was a good thing I was not a golden-locket. As he was walking I fell out, I tried to get his attention in a shout, but I had forgotten that he is a human being, most of the time the value of money they are never seeing,” said Clive. “That is when I called myself Clive Five.”

Suddenly another big piece of, paper was quickly falling toward’s Goonie Toonie and Clive Five from above. They had heard the piece of paper yell in a loud bellow.

“Look out below!”

Both Goonie and Clive ran to safety, just in time, thankful to still be alive.

“What on Earth was that?” Clive Five asked as a matter of fact.”

“I am terribly sorry about that fellow’s,” said the green stranger to the fellows.

“Where did you come from?” Goonie Toonie asked, almost feeling numb.

“From the window way up there on the fifty floor,” she pointed upward to the window’s glass door. “That careless lady put me on the window sill and left me, I am sure by now you both could see,” she said, rubbing the back of her head.

“She must be crazy to leave a twenty dollar bill, beside an open

window on a window sill,” said Clive Five, now standing from his painful ground dive.

“I also agree that she is crazy, I must ask if her name is Daisy?” Goonit Toonie said hoping she would say no, but the twenty dollar bill said yes and not no.

“How do you know?”

“A lucky guess, no more no less,” Goonie Toonie claimed.

“So what have you been named?” asked Clive Five, speaking to her without jive.

“My name is Jenny Twenty,” she claimed and apologized plenty, for forgetting her manner’s as a lady bill, thinking that mistake’s like that she truly had her fill.

For a long while all three new friends’s walked, while at the same time they talked.

Goonie Toonie, was till bouncing around acting loony.

Jenny Twenty, was smiling gently, at Clive Five , whom was doing the same and walking at a slow stride.

All of a sudden everyone stopped and stared at the street corner.

“What are those sitting on the side-walk border?” said Jenny, moving hardly and inch any.

“They look like piece’s of paper like us Jenny,” said Clive Five to Jenny Twenty.

Goonie Toonie, whom never seemed to be moody, began waving his arm’s and jumping up and down, acting like a funny clown.

“Hey, would you like to meet some new friend’s today?” he yelled out in a very loud shout.

“Shhhhh Goonie,” Jenny whispered to the silver toonie. “What if they want to be left alone?”

“We do not know that yet, because their feeling’s have not yet been shown,” Goonie Toonie announced as around and around he pounced.

 “Let’s go so that our face’s could be seen,” Clive Five said as the street light turned green.


They all crossed the street, hoping to find some new friend’s to greet. A few moment’s later, they were up on the side-walk looking up at a street sign named Slater. Then all three peeked around the corner to see.

“They look like money to me,” said Jenny as quiet as she could possible be.

“Me too,” said Goonie as his eye’s had stuck to them like glue.

“Me Three,” Clive Five said as he hid behind the wall like he would hide behind a tree.

“Hi! We could all be friend’s if we Try!” Goonie Toonie screamed, as he jumped around in the open and his silver gleamed.

“Oh Goonie, you little goofy.” Jenny Twenty said, covering her eye’s with her hand’s instead of putting them on her head.

Goonie had startled the piece’s of paper as they quickly turned to see.

“What kind of nutty nut could this be?” one of them asked as they stared at the toonie, whom was acting so loony.

“Please forgive our friend, he does not mean to offend,” Clive Five said, as he came out and put his hands on this head.

“He is a real loony, that’s why he call’s himself Goonie Toonie,” said Jenny Twenty, as she tried to sound friendly.

“This is Misty Fifty, I think she dresses’s so nifty.” Said the ten dollar bill.

“Say did you just climb a big hill?” Goonie Toonie said, as he went to lean against the wall upside down on his head.

“Smart alec,” said Ben Ten , as they all laughed just then.

“Say, now that we all know one another in some way, why don’t we all do something today?” said Misty Fisty.

It turned out everyone thought that would be nifty.

“But what could we do?” Jenny Twenty asked as they thought it through.

“We could all go and see a movie,” Clive Five said thinking that would be groovy.

“You guy’s could but I cannot, being only a toonie not much by me could be bought. All of you are far far more valuable then me, you could all buy so much more you see,” Goonie Toonie said, now on his feet and no longer on his head.

“It matter’s not of your value Goonie,” said Ben Ten to the silver Toonie. “We are all valuable in our own way, so stay and let’s all have fun on this day.

“And if we all work together, we would all be far more valuable together. For all of us to do so would be very clever,” added Jenny Twenty, with word’s of wisdom plenty.

“You are absolutely right Jenny,” Misty Fifty said to the twenty. “Because each one of us is more valuable than the other.” she added from one to the other. “But together we could do so much more, we would never know for us would be in a store.”

“OK everyone gather around,” Ben Ten said as they all gather around in a small circle on the ground. Ben, began counting right there and then. “Two + Five = Seven + Ten = Seventeen + Twenty = Thirty-Seven + Fifty = Eighty Seven. Ok I count Eighty-seven.”

“Now if a human had that kind of money, he or she could so much it’s just not funny,” Jenny Twenty claimed.

“For carelessness of money only human’s are to be blamed.” Clive Five said, when suddenly they all looked way above their head’s, an on his tee-shirt was only one word called Jed.

“Quick play dead!” Ben Ten whispered there and then. The human named Jed, picked up the money and into his wallet they were all fed.

“I thought we were all going to see a movie?” Misty Fifty said, feeling a little goofy.

“That;s right Misty but now or when, we will get there we do not know, so let’s hope that to a movie is where he will go,” Clive Five claimed, and in Jed’s wallet they all remained.

The end
