Piggybank

Like most children, Siddarth maintains a piggybank. He keeps shaking it, now and then, to hear the rattle of coins inside a ceramic container; and sizing it up for weight – ‘Oh, it’s getting heavy’.

The p-bank encourages Siddarth to mop up loose change left on tables and shelves all over the place. Which is a help. For, Nikhil is given to putting in his mouth everything he can lay his hands on, and leaving coins lying round the house could be dangerous.

Siddarth has been told that 1) he needs to identify the denomination of each coin he drops in the piggy; and 2) his mom has persuaded Siddarth that he give half the proceeds of p-bank for getting toys for other children.
