What money is and why people accept it, sentence 3

Money does three jobs: it buys things, it keeps its value so you can save it for later, and it tells you what things cost so you can compare them.

Who acts: Money, you, things · What happens: do, buy, keep, save, tell, cost · To what, where: three jobs, things, value, money, you · Speech: someone speaks here
