Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents' house. They would always wait excitedly for the moment their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then all the children would run off to buy chewing gum or lollies, The grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents commented that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they proposed a special test, in which the children would have to show, over the course of a year, just what they could do with those few coins. Ruben and Nico, the two youngest kids, paid no attention, and continued spending it all on sweets. Every time, they would show off their sweets in front of the other children, laughing and making fun of their cousins. They made Clara and Joe join them in spending it on sweets. Alex, on the other hand, had a will of iron. He saved all the money, wanting to win the competition, and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone and bought a toy and sweets. He was the winner. There was also Julia. Poor Julia didn't enjoy the day of the competition, because even though she had had a wonderful secret plan, she had spent her money without giving her plan enoush time to work. When she was about to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone by turning up at the grandparents' house with a violin and a lot of money. What was even more impressive was hearing her play. Everyone knew that Julia adored the violin, however the farily couldn't afford to pay for her to have lessons. So Julia had got to know a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins she got to teach her how to play The violinist gave her a violin so they could play together in the park, as a duo. They were so successful that gradually she had enough money to buy her own violin. Julia would always tell people how it was possible, with just a few coins well spent, to make your wildest drearns a reality.
