The Tale of Borrowing from Number Neighbors

In the magical land of Numberville, the numbers lived in cozy houses on a street called Place Value Lane. There were two neighborhoods: Tens Town and Ones Village. One day, in Ones Village, the number 3 was trying to give 5 apples to a friend, but there was a problem. 3 didn't have enough apples! 'Oh no! How can I give 5 apples when I only have 3?' thought the number.
