Even though his family struggles with money, just like other families, 11-year-old Jerry spends whatever money he can get on his presidential trading cards. Jerry's brother, Armand, chastises Jerry for not spending money on a gift for their father's birthday. By the end of the story, Jerry learns his lesson and makes a sacrifice for his family.
