Bruce and his other two friends, Bruno and Dick lived in the same city in England. They were free in their summer holiday. So they came to a village by a large lake. They liked fishing very much. Then the next day after they got there, they got to a boat and went fishing in the lake. They boated farther and farther. They came to an out-of-way place. They were very happy because there were a lot of fish. When it was time for them to go home, Bruce said to his friends: “We’d better make a mark here so that we will easily find the place tomorrow.”

“You’re right.” Bruno said happily. “Let me do that.”

“How foolish,” said Bruce,” If it rains tonight, the rain water will wash the line off, and how can we find the mark tomorrow. You must cut a line with your knife.”

Dick came up to them and said angrily. “Neither of you is clever. How can we find the place if we have another boat tomorrow? We should not go back tonight.”

"Red envelope" fever has swept the country recently. Cash (现金) can be sent through electronic payments. Children can get more money than before. But everyone needs to understand something about money: where it comes from, how to save it and how to spend it wisely. Too many parents don't take time to teach their children about money, and as a result, many of those children don't know how to deal with money when they grow up.

When should parents begin teaching their children about money? Experts agree that it's never too early. The more children learn about money, the more wisely they will be able to deal with money as they grow older. To begin with, parents can teach kids how to count money.

Next, parents can teach kids how to save money. For example, a kid wants a new bicycle. Parents can teach them to save part of their pocket money for that bike, while still keeping some money for ice cream and movies. In this way they will begin to understand the meaning of saving.

Also it's never too early to teach children different ways to make money besides snatching (抢)red envelope. For example, they can wash cars, clean gardens, look after babies. Sit down with children and talk with them about some ways they could make money. You'll be surprised and glad at the effort they will begin making.

Teach children about money when they're young and their future will be brighter.
