Did you see the new student in Miss Foley's class, Sally? I think she's from a poor family?
Poor? Why would you think that?
She had pieces of cloth on her jeans. I'll bet she has holes in them and she can't afford to buy new ones. Her mom had a so on the pieces of cloth to fix her old jeans.
Rusty, you're a little behind the times, that's the fashion nowadays. Half of our class have pieces sewn on their jeans. If her parents are really poor, we certainly will help her.
