What are fortunes?

Fortunes are special money that people get when they do really well in a game or business.

Imagine you and your friend have a lemonade stand. Every time someone buys a glass of lemonade, you both get some coins. But if one of you sells way more glasses than the other, that person might get extra coins, like fortunes! These extra coins are special because they're not just for today; they can help you buy more lemons or even start another stand later.

How Fortunes Work

When someone has a lot of money and does something really smart with it, like opening new stores or making cool toys, they might get even more money, which is called a fortune. It's kind of like getting extra coins not just for selling lemonade, but for being the best lemonade seller ever!

Sometimes, people use their fortunes to help others too. Like when you save up your coins to buy a bigger jug of lemonade so more friends can enjoy it. That’s how fortunes work, they're extra money from doing something super well!
