“I can’t believe Emily’s going to be here!” Maria squealed with glee as she jumped up and down in her room. Her favorite singer was performing at a local theater this weekend. The show will cost $15, and I really want to go with all my friends, she thought. But I don’t get paid until the Monday after the concert. Suddenly, Emily coming to town didn’t seem so exciting after all. Maria had been working as a cashier at the local supermarket on weekends and sometimes after school. The past few months she had been saving her paychecks to buy her father a good birthday present. Dad always complained that he never gets gifts as good as Mom’s on his birthday, Maria thought. She had asked him what he wanted and had saved up enough money to buy the cordless drill set. Maria couldn’t wait to see his face when he opened the gift on his birthday, which was also Monday. Maria decided to ask her mom for advice. “I could borrow money to pay for the concert from my savings, but then I won’t be able to buy Dad’s gift this weekend,” she said. “I could get him something else, but what if he doesn’t like it?” “Well, honey, what do you think you should do?” her mom responded after Maria told her the problem. “I’m not sure, Mom. Who knows when Emily will come back to town again?” she replied. “This could be my only opportunity to see her in mom said, “Looks like you have a tough decision to make, but think about what your father would do if the tables were turned.” She patted Maria on the shoulder before she walked out the room. A couple of months before her birthday every year, Maria’s father would always start asking questions to get an idea about what to get her. He always gets me exactly what I ask for on my birthday, she thought. Dad deserves the same special treatment. Maria grabbed her purse and headed to the shopping center.
