The Lesson

3.  Sylvia and her cousin Sugar have a very off and on.  They fight a lot but like to have fun.  The contrast between Sylvia and Sugar is that Sylvia is meaner than Sugar.  Sugar has more respect for people and is a lot smarter than Sylvia.  She also figured out why Miss Moore took them to the toy store.

4.  She gave them that look because she had already told them about how people spend money wastefully and buy stupid things.  That is why she took them to the toy store to show them that money is valuable and they should not waste it on useless items.
