Fritter has been saving towards a summer visit to Six Wags
Amusement Park. He needs a total of $100.00. By saving
and working hard, he now has $86.00! Will Fritter finally
reach his big goal by earning money puppy-sitting?
Fritter got a job watching his neighbor’s new puppy. It’s not always easy
watching a playful pup, but Fritter earns $2.00 per hour.
