Michael's great-great-aunt Dew was a hundred years old, and she kept an
old box filled with pennies, one for each birthday. Michael loved to sit
at her feet and count out the pennies while Aunt Dew told the story
behind each one. Michael's mother wanted to throw out the old box and
buy a new one. But Aunt Dew said, "Anybody takes my hundred penny box,
take me." And for his love for Aunt Dew, Michael knew he had to try to
save the hundred penny box that contaiend all the stories of her life.
