brothers and sisters; and

mother giving her $5.00 to buy books. Diamond knew however that there were other children who could
not purchase any books, so instead she placed the $5 bill in the "charity box" on her teacher's desk, so
that other students would have the opportunity to participate in the book fair and enjoy reading.
