Daddy smiled and said, 'Money is earned by working, my dear. When we do jobs and help others, we receive money for it.' Lily's eyes sparkled with curiosity. So, her father took her hand and they went outside to explore different jobs in their neighborhood.

They visited Mrs. Johnson's bakery, where Lily helped pack fresh bread. Then they went to Mr. Wilson's farm, where she collected eggs. Lily learned that people use their skills and time to make money. On their way back home, the father and daughter stopped at a store.
