Milestone Place

                 Deep down in a wonderful place, their is a school called Herbert Hoover Middle School. This is the best school on earth. It is the best school on earth because the teachers are great and it's like learning at home.
                 The best thing about it is how changing classes work. All the classes are right next to eachother. It makes life more easier to follow. I'm glad I'm going to this school next year. Why you may ask, well my reason is because it makes learning fun and useful.
                  Hoover also has a variety of thing to choose from such what to eat for lunch, where to sit at lunch or at lunch. Here at school the classes start at 8:30 and ends at 3:00. I will never forget Herbert Hoover Middle School.

Does money come from trees?

Does money come from trees? I actually thought it did. Here is my reason why I thought it came from trees. Money is made from paper which is recycled from trees.  I did some research and it said as follows:

Paper Bills: Does Money Grow on Trees?

You know the old saying about money growing on trees? Many people believe it does, because paper is made from trees. But, did you know that paper money is not really paper at all? It is actually 75% cotton and 25% linen, the same materials that make up your clothes. http://efinancedirectory.com/articles/Does_Money_Grow_on_Trees%3F%3A__A_Kid's_Lesson_in_How_Money_is_Really_Made!.html

How does cotton grow

This small bush is grown from a seed and matures in around 100 days. It needs a temperature of 680 to germinate and because of this grows best in warm climate with proper irrigation. The leaves of this plant are very much like that of the oak tree. http://www.flowersplants.net/Gardening/How-does-cotton-grow93_AR.aspx
 
After doing the research paper money does grow on trees.  Paper money is a form of cotton which is formulated from a small bush. Bushes grow on trees. So there we have it for those of you who were wondering the answer is "Yes" money does grow on trees.
 
I would like to know your thoughts of how you wisely wondered how money was grown.
