The Busy Temple

The temple courtyard buzzed with voices, footsteps, and the clink of coins. Near one wall stood tall metal boxes for gifts to God. Coins of copper, silver, and gold dropped into the boxes with different sounds. People walked up all day to drop their money inside. A boy named Nadav sat on the cool steps and watched them. He liked to guess how much each person would give.

The Rich Give Loudly

A merchant in a fine robe strode toward the nearest box. He held a heavy handful of gold coins above the opening. Then he let them fall, and they rang out like little bells. The gold caught the sunlight and sparkled as it tumbled inside. Everyone nearby turned to look, and the man smiled proudly. More rich men followed, each dropping loud piles of shining gold. "They must be the best givers," Nadav thought to himself.
