Sunday is Father’s Day, and
Maria wants to buy a special gift for her
father. She looked at the Father’s Day
ads in the newspaper, but they mostly
had sales on ties and bottles of cologne.
Her father doesn’t like to wear ties, and
he never wears cologne. He used to go
fishing or bowling on the weekends, but
lately he’s been staying home and
working in the garden.
Maria can spend about $45 on
her father’s gift. She wants to buy him
something that he will use every week. Last year she got him a sweater and two sports
shirts. She wants to get him something different this year.
