This is a good story about giving back to the community and helping those who deserve it. The school raised money to build a playground but the school board used that money to take care of repairs at the school. Mr. Tanen the principal was heart broken that he was going to have to tell the students they weren't getting a playground. He thought of what he could do to help and he decided to sell his most prized possession to make money to build a playground. After the playground was built all of the ties that were bought were given back to Mr. Tanen and he was thanked for his generosity. ( )
