4. SITUATION
Your parents are both working but their income could barely
make both ends meet. You and your twin sister learned in
your T.L.E. class how to bake and make fashion jewelry.
You and your twin sister/brother are both in high school and
the youngest is in grade 4. You want to help argument the
family income so you proposed to your parents to start a
home-based business of baked cookies and fashion
jewelry; and offer this to neighbors, friends and classmates
in school.
5. Children you all know that me
and your mother work but it’s
not enough for our needs and
wants and we don’t have enough
budget.
So, we ask you to
be thriftier .
Okay?
7. How can we help mom and dad
so we can have additional
food and money for our home
and for our school
requirements?
I know how! We can bake cookies and
make fashion jewelries so we can help
mom and dad. We can use the
knowledge we have from our T.L.E.
class and we have the skills. We will
buy the materials using our savings
from our piggy banks.
8. How can I help?? Oh, I can buy
goods on weekends but please
accompany me.
But first
we should
tell mom
and dad
about this.
Okay.
9. Mom and Dad, we would like to tell
you something. We are planning to
build a small business. We would like
to sell cookies and fashion jewelries
during weekends in front of our house
and during weekdays, to our
classmates and friends, so we can help
you for having more income. Don’t
worry about the expenses, we will use
our savings from our piggy banks.
Would you allow us?
Of course! Thank you!
Just don’t consume much
time on doing the
products. Your studies
are more important than
making money!
10. After their class on Friday, they bought
materials from the market and from the
mall.
12. And they also brought the materials for
making fashion jewelries.
13. They started to make the products…
James and Radyn, together
with the help of their
mother, baked the cookies.
While Jonah and Darren made the
fashion accessories.
14. For the next two days they sold their
products outside their house. It was a
Sold – out. Then they made again new
products then after finishing it, they
studied their lessons and made their
homeworks.
15. In school, they also marketed their products. Their
classmates and even their teachers loved their cookies
and accessories.
16. They counted their income and they were
surprised because their capital became its triple
amount. Their parents were so proud of them. Now
they can buy their school requirements without
asking money from their parents. They also gave
most of the income to their parents to have
additional money to buy food and other
necessities. They also continued their business
and became great little entrepreneurs.
