==**__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:** == Begin reading the book. Stop and ask: We are going to talk about things we want, and how we can't always get everything we want. In this story a girl named Tyya is unhappy because she thinks her dad never buys anything "good" at the grocery store.

Continue reading. Discuss what has happened so far. Explain and discuss the differences between choice and needs versus wants and how unlimited wants affect choices of limited resources.

Continue with the story to the point where Dad finally tells Tyya to stand and wait for him to finish shopping. A lady comes along and wants to buy Tyya. The lady at the store decides to price her at $29.95. Tyya's father pays the price.

Ask: Why did he decide to pay that much for Tyya? (Because he felt that she was worth the price.)
