Sara liked to find pebbles on the beach. She had many pebbles in her bucket. Some were big, some were small, some were smooth, some were rough. She liked to look at them and feel them.
One day, she saw a man with a table. He had many things on his table. He had books, toys, hats, and cups. He was selling them to people. Sara wanted to sell her pebbles too. She thought they were very nice.
She asked the man if she could use a corner of his table. The man was kind and said yes. He said she had to be honest and tell people the truth about her pebbles. Sara nodded. She was an honest girl.
She put some pebbles on the table. She made a sign that said "Pebbles for sale". She waited for people to come. Some people walked by and looked at her pebbles. Some people smiled and said hello. Some people asked her how much they were.
Sara said they were one penny each. She said they were from the beach. She said they were good for playing, making, and decorating. She said they were all different and special.
Some people liked her pebbles and bought some. They gave her pennies and took the pebbles they liked. Sara was happy. She thanked them and put the pennies in her pocket.
Some people did not like her pebbles and said they were not worth anything. They said they were just rocks. They said they could find them anywhere. They said they did not want to buy them. Sara was sad. She said they were wrong. She said her pebbles were beautiful and precious. She said they were her friends.
The man saw Sara was sad. He came to her and said she did a good job. He said he was proud of her. He said she was honest and brave. He said he liked her pebbles too. He said he wanted to buy one. He gave her a penny and picked a pebble. He said it was the best pebble he ever saw. He said he would keep it forever.
Sara smiled. She gave him the pebble and thanked him. She said he was the best man she ever met. She said he was her friend too. She hugged him and he hugged her back. They were both happy.
