Miss Moore is trying to teach the children the value of a dollar. In today's society, that is a very tough lesson for our youth. Many teenagers think nothing of spending $175.00 on a pair of shoes. That is, until they have to actually pay for them themselves. Children need to learn from a young age: nothing is for free and one needs to work hard, go to school, and make a good living to survive in today's world.

Dogs have very little stress in their lives -- they do not die of "perforated ulcers" like Mabel's probably over-stressed husband. And, because they can fully devote their attention to every moment, dogs enjoy their lives a lot more than most people; they do not need expensive video...
