The story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara is narrated by an unnamed black girl living in a poor area of New York City.
Miss Moore tells the narrator and a group of other neighborhood children that she intends to give them a lesson about money, and calls a cab for them to take them to a toy store in downtown New York City.
The children are shocked by the enormous prices of toys. This is probably the main idea of the story - to show social inequality in modern society.
