Molly: [wearing sun-glasses] Dum-dee dum-dee dum.

Peter: Hi, Molly! What are you doing?

Molly: Hi, Peter! Im waiting.

Peter: What are you waiting for?

Molly: Well... you know how its really good for people to be generous and give?

Peter: Yeah...

Molly: Well, I thought that if I wear these dark glasses and carry a bag, that someone walking past might give something to me.

Peter: Oh, Molly, you crack me up. Sometimes people who cant see ask for help, and people give things to them.

Molly: Yeah.

Peter: But, Molly... You can see. So you should be helping others and not just thinking about yourself.

Molly: Oh. Maybe I need to pay attention to the story today. I think Im starting to get it...
