Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Father, of course, provides a regular supply of pocket-money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If sixpences are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money-boxes. Only very thrifty (节俭的) children manage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a small price to pay for a satisfying bar of chocolate.
