Educación Financiera para Niños
Arnold, a curious 7-year-old boy in Bogotá, dreams of making money but doesn't know how. With the help of his friend Grace, he embarks on a journey filled with challenges to learn the value of wisdom and financial literacy.
It was a sunny summer day in Bogotá. Arnold, a 7-year-old boy with short brown hair and glasses, was playing in his backyard. He loved collecting action figures but didn't have enough money to buy the newest ones. Arnold sighed, looking at his piggy bank. He turned to his best friend Grace, who was reading a book nearby.
- Grace, I wish I had more money to buy the latest action figures, Arnold said. - Why don't you try to earn some? Grace suggested. Arnold looked puzzled. - But how? I don't know where to start, he admitted. Grace smiled, ready to help her friend.
Arnold decided to sell lemonade to make money. He set up a small stand with Grace's help. They squeezed lemons, added sugar, and filled the pitcher with water. They waited for customers, but no one stopped by. Arnold felt disappointed.
- Maybe we need to make a sign, Grace suggested. They quickly made a colorful sign that read 'Fresh Lemonade' and put it up. Still, people walked by without stopping. - This isn't working, Arnold said sadly. Grace tried to keep his spirits up.
Arnold decided to try a different approach. He thought about selling his old toys. He gathered them and set up a stall in the front yard. Grace helped him arrange everything neatly. They waited, but again, no one was interested.
- Maybe we should lower the prices, Grace suggested. They lowered the prices and waited again. Still, no one showed any interest. - I don't think this is working either, Arnold said, feeling frustrated. Grace put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Arnold tried one last idea. He decided to offer dog-walking services. He made flyers with Grace's help and they distributed them in the neighborhood. They waited for calls, but none came. Arnold felt like giving up.
- Maybe I should just give up, Arnold said, sitting on the curb. - Don't give up, Arnold. We just need a better plan, Grace encouraged. Arnold sighed deeply. - I don't know what else to do, he said. Grace thought hard for a moment.
Grace had an idea. - Let's ask my uncle for advice. He's really good with money, she said. Arnold agreed, and they visited Grace's uncle. - The key is to find something people really need, he explained. - Look around and see what you can do to help others, he suggested.
Arnold and Grace looked around their neighborhood and noticed many people struggling to carry groceries. - What if we help people with their groceries? Arnold suggested. They offered their services, and soon, many neighbors were happy to pay them. Arnold felt proud and wise.
