Watering with Smiles is a pattern inside the Smile Eonomy that keeps a strict distinction between two kinds of gifts. - Roses or flower stickers are **gifts of money**. - Smileys are **gifts of story and time**.
A flower moves money into a shared pot for learning. A smiley appears only when someone gives a story, a song or attentive time to another person. The pattern explains how flowers and smileys work together to unlock a funded literacy project for a school.
