Abstract
DEAR old penny! You have been with me all my life. You were the first present I ever had, and when I was young your potentiality was great. You would buy everything a boy required—peg-tops, jam tarts, kites, marbles, or a bun. As I grew older I recognised that your purchasing power did not keep pace with my desires. Still, you do something—you give me a paper, a box of matches, or carry me long distances on trams or buses. With two or three pennies in my pocket I feel armed against emergencies. You will dry an urchin's tears or give comfort to a beggar. You have been and still remain a friend to young and old.
