(3) 4-6 Four times a century, the Bell family offers gifts to the town as thanks for their generations of great wealth. That wealth has now run nearly dry, however, so when it's his turn, Darius's father has little to offer but a wheelbarrow of vegetables. This gentle Australian-import parable about family history, loyalty, and pride makes for a satisfying read.
