The Euro

Once upon a time there was a Euro. He just got made in a factory, and he was all bright and shiny. A person picked him up and brought him to La Banque de France. And he got put into a safe. And then a person came to the bank. And the owner of the bank took the Euro out and gave him to the person. The person put him into her wallet and then put her wallet into her bag. There was a bunch of other Euros there. And there were lots of cents. It was very hot in there, and he was sweating, and the other money was sweating too.

That afternoon the person went into a boulangerie and gave the Euro to the boulangère to buy two poppy seed rolls and a baguette. Then he got put into a cash register where it was very dark, and he couldn't see. He kept on bumping into other Euros. Sometimes he fell into a place where cents were supposed to be, and sometimes cents came into the Euro spot, but they always got back into their own spot. Then he heard the door of the boulangerie open. A woman walked in and said she wanted a baguette and a croissant. It cost two Euros, and the woman gave the boulangere three Euros. The boulangere opened the cash register, and now it seemed very very bright. But the Euro got used to it. The boulangere took out the Euro and gave him to the woman as change. And the woman put him in a wallet and walked away.

She went home, and she gave him to her daughter. Her daughter decided she wanted to buy something with him. So she went out on her way to the toy store. On the way she dropped him, not noticing she did. It was very boring on the ground, and he kept on moving over so nobody stepped on him. When there was nobody there he laid down flat so someone would find him and pick him up. The ground kind of hurt his back. Then a man came along and found him on the ground and picked him up.

The man brought him to the Metro and put him into a metro machine. In the metro machine it was almost like an enormous slide. He kept on sliding down through tunnels, and sometimes he got flipped over on his heads and sometimes on his tails. Then he ended up in a big space, and there was lots of other money in there. It was very crowded, and he kept on getting squished by the 2 Euros because he was a 1 Euro. After a long, long time the machine emptier-man came and emptied all the money but forgot him! So he had to wait until tomorrow for him to come back. He waited and waited and it kept on getting more crowded. Then he fell asleep. He woke up in the morning, but he still had to wait until the evening. So he waited and waited and waited. He was very very bored. Then finally it came to be evening, and the man didn't forget him. He got all the money and brought it to the bank.

He didn't like it in the bank. It was all boring in those tubes of money. He was glad when a peson came and took him. But what he wasn't glad about was that the same things happened all over again.
The end.
