Object: A make believe check for $1,000,000.00 and an old rag.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I am going to show you something that you won't believe, but it's true. I have a check here for $1,000,000.00 and I am going to spend it in just a few minutes. Do you know how much money $1,000,000.00 is? (Let them answer.) What do you think $1,000,000.00 would buy? (Let them answer.) A million dollars is more money than I have ever seen.

I want you to look at something else I brought with me today. Do you see this old rag I have in my hand? It isn't very pretty. I guess you wouldn't even dust your house with a rag like this, would you? (Let them answer.) Would anyone wear it for a shirt? (Let them answer.) You wouldn't wear it or use it. It is ready to be burned or thrown away in some garb…
