Pockets

The first task: Buying
On the first day, I am going to give you RM0.50 to put in your pocket. You are to go out and buy something with it. It can be anything, you are only limited to two conditions: it doesn't cost you more than RM0.50 to get it, and it must fit in your pocket.

On the second day, I am going to give you RM5.00 to put in your pocket. You are to do the same as the first day. The third day, RM50.00, and the fourth day, RM500.00.

The second task: Keeping
Keep what you have bought in your pocket for the entire day. You can write about it if you want, take it out and look at it or think about it. Or you can just keep it there. Don't show it to anyone at this point. At the end of the day, try to take a picture of your pocket with what you have bought still inside it. If you don't have a camera with you, try to draw a picture of your pocket. If you feel that you're not good at drawing, you might try describing what your pocket looks like. You can write down your description, or just remember it.

The third task: Showing
Now you are going to transform what you have bought in your pocket into something you can take out and show your friends. You may want to build a little box for it, turn it into something else, paint it different colours, burn it to ashes, or anything you like. Because you had to do these tasks 4 separate times with different allowance of money, you will have four things you can take out of your pocket to show to and talk about with your friends, families or even strangers.
