Neko found that her dad’s pants were torn, and she said
“I will buy new shorts for dad!”and did a lot of chores to make and save up money. When finally, she had saved up 1000yen, she found a pair of shorts for 1000yen and bought them.
Then, she gave them to her father and said:
“I gave you a present, so buy me some toy please.”
That is how she got her hands on a stuffed dog worth 2000 yen.
Neko is good at getting what she wants!
