Daisy Decimal hated her last name more than 

anything....well, except for one thing....decimals 

themselves! They were so confusing. They made Daisy 

very unhappy!

The kids at school always made fun of Daisy because 

her last name was Decimal and because she always 

had trouble understanding decimals.

As Daisy sat doing her Math homework (decimals, of 

course!) she became very sleepy. As she put her 

head down on top of her math book, she wished that 

decimals did not exist!

The next morning, Mrs. Decimal drove Daisy to school 

on her way to work. Daisy was not in a very good mood 

since she was not able to finish her decimal 

homework......again. 

Walking home that day, Daisy had a big smile on her face. 

No one made fun of her name and best of all there was not 

one mention of decimals in math class! Daisy wished she 

had wished for this sooner!

Daisy ran into her mother outside of the local coffee 

shop. Her mother did not look happy. She asked her 

mother what was wrong. Her mother replied, "Daisy, 

something terrible has happened. When I tried to buy 

my coffee today, no one knew how much money to 

charge! Somehow all of the decimals have disappeared! 

Now no one knows how much anything costs.

The coffee shop manager doesn't

know whether to charge me 

$1.29, $.129, $12.90 or

$129 for my coffee! It's 

such a disaster!

Now, Daisy was unhappy once again. Not only could her 

mom not buy her coffee, she couldn't buy anything! On 

the news that evening everyone was talking about the 

chaos that had been caused since no one knew how 

much anything cost anymore. 

The man on the news said that a new 

system for paying for things would have to 

be started, but until then, money had no 

value! This certainly was disastrous!
