Look at all the stuff I could
buy!
I could spend my little penny in a snap
On one of any of a hundred
wondrous things
I want them all, but there's so many
And I only have one penny
Mr.
Bernard, sir
What do you think I should
spend it on right now?
Tell me, tell me!
Maybe donuts, maybe bonies
Maybe slingshots or balonies
Maybe pirate ships or puppet shows
Or bowls of macaroni,
maybe pipers in a tube
Maybe slices of the moon
I just got a shiny penny and I've
gotta spend it soon
Spend it?
Right now?
Why not save it?
Why not keep it?
Till you really, really need it
Even spend it on a friend
who needs a hand
Don't be selfish, don't be hasty
What you've got is not for wasting
You should look ahead and
make a careful plan
Every minute, every penny, every tal ent, every gift,
spend them well and spend them wisely.
That's the virtue known as thrift.
It is?
Yes, of course.
These virtues seem to be
getting into everything.
I could spend my time today chasing rabbits,
or I could lay in a snooze beneath the bushes.
I could frolic.
I could play.
But I only have one day.
Sir
Bernard, sir, as a fu ture knight,
how would you recommend I waste
time this afternoon in
Nipperville?
Tell me, tell me!
Maybe sniffing out a snail,
maybe chasing my own tail,
maybe looking around the moat and
trying to catch a blubber whale.
Waste time?
Why not spend it on tomorrow?
Don't be lazy, you can borrow time today
to make a way to meet your dreams.
Practice hard like old
Bernard
Time's a treasure you should guard
Invest your best and soon
you'll be like me
Every minute, every penny
Every talent, every gift
Spend them well and spend
them wisely
That's the virtue known as thrift
It is?
Yes.
Have you got that?
Yes, I do!
Every minute, every penny, every talent, every gift,
spend them well and spend them wisely.
That's the virtue known as thrift.
I got it.
Put that in your pocket.
Okay.
You never know when you might need it.
I know.
I'll save it.
Very good.
What should we do now?
Get ice cream.
What happened then,
Mr.
Green?
