(January, 1992) You may think these
coins are yours but
they're not, they are

be just peanuts. She was
very surprised when she
saw this windfall, and
her friends said,
"Your're a lucky Penny!"
Penny is a sweet person
who likes to share her
luck with others, so she leaves her
coins on sidewalks and in the grass for
children to find. She loves to listen to
Rich's jokes and see the eryoyment he
gets from making others laugh. But
Rich never teases when asked about
his one true love "Penny? Oh, Penny's
from heaven!"
"Rich" the third Figurine and "Fenny" the Fourth introduction, in a
NEW SPECIAL SERIES, will be available for purchase-only-during
this special event.
