Many times I receive money as a gift when I was a child. But I will talk about that special time when I receive money as a gift. The value of money is very small but it hits me and it reminds me all that means when I receive that money and what changes in my life. The money when I received when I was 10 years old and received by my great grandfather I was living for my hostel and he gave me rupees 100. At that time rupees 100 was the largest amount I think so to be given to a child. When we four siblings were leaving our place from great grandfather and my great grandfather giving me 100 rupees. It was very hard for me to receive that money because I don’t know no one has given me that much of amount. The largest amount I received among three of my siblings were just seeing me. But you got that much amount. It was very hard for me to think that why he is giving me that much amount. So when I went to my hostel I was just holding that 100 rupees and I was thinking that is there any sign to give me that much of money. So I just got a call after that day that my great grandfather was died. So I thought that this 100 rupees was very important for me because I was having issue to buy books because I was not having books at that time. It was very hard for my father to buy that large amount of books. So it was very special and I just got that books and health free in my school time. And now I am a good scholar and I scored good marks in my school life and that 100 rupees saved my whole life. And it was very special for me because it was given by my great grandfather.

Many times I received money as a gift when I was a child. But I will talk about that special time when I received money as a gift. The value of money is very small, but it hits me and reminds me of all that it means when I received that money and what changes it brought in my life. The money I received when I was 10 years old was given to me by my great grandfather. I was living in my hostel, and he gave me 100 rupees. At that time, 100 rupees was the largest amount I think a child could be given. When my three siblings and I were leaving our great grandfather's place, he gave me 100 rupees. It was very hard for me to accept that money because I didn't know anyone who had given me that much. The largest amount I had received among my three siblings was just being given to me. It was difficult for me to understand why he was giving me that much. So when I went to my hostel, I was just holding that 100 rupees and thinking if there was any special reason for giving me that much money. Then I received a call the next day that my great grandfather had died. I thought that this 100 rupees was very important for me because I had issues buying books, as I didn't have any at that time. It was very hard for my father to buy that large number of books. So it was very special, and I was able to get those books and help free during my school time. Now I am a good scholar and scored good marks in my school life, and that 100 rupees changed my whole life. It was very special for me because it was given by my great grandfather.
