The Analogy of Money

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Money had no meaning to the banker
Who was no more than a poor man’s debt
Money makes the world go around
He believed what his teacher had said

Money had meaning to the baker
Who sold baking to make some bread
Money makes the world go around

Money had no meaning to the banker
Who was no more than a poor man’s debt
Money makes the world go around
He believed what his teacher had said

Money had meaning to the baker
Who sold baking to make some bread
Money makes the world go around
And hungry mouths paid to be fed

Money had little meaning to younglings
Who happily exchanged coins for sweets
Money makes the world go around
And rewards spending with a treat

Money had intricate meaning to the developer
Who profited buying land from the crown
Money makes the world go around
For what is exchanged cannot be found

Money had meaning when people had dreams
Now our future is built on currency
Money makes the world go around
It is our lucid dream for our independency

At first, the teachers were a little shy about singing and dancing by themselves in their homes. However the response from our families was so positive, with lots of lovely comments, we were encouraged to keep going! It meant so much to our children and their families that they could see their teachers every day - even on the weekends. As all the teachers are together at Uplands Kindergarten in Level 3, we were able to sing and dance as a group and keep posting more songs, stories and Mother's Day activities.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

NZ Gardener's new issue is out now

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo
