Read the story without numbers first.
Which blanks can have only limited numbers?
For example,

How many cents can be in nickels? (5, 10, 15, 20, ...)
How many cents can be in dimes? (10, 20, 30, 40, ...)
How many cents can be in quarters? (25, 50, 75, ...)

Look at the numbers in the pond. Are there any numbers you think you know where to place? Are there numbers that fit together in one line of the story?
