Work and Money at the Bluebird County Fair

At the Bluebird County Fair, people earn money by working. Tessa checks tickets at the gate. The fair manager pays her for this work. Jamal paints small designs on visitors' hands. Visitors pay Jamal after he paints each design. Rosa helps a baker at a food booth. She serves warm rolls, and the baker pays her.

After their work, the workers use some of their earned money. Tessa buys a kite and pays for a ride. Jamal pays a photographer to take his picture. Rosa buys a cup of lemonade.
