"Penny for your thoughts" is an idiom that means asking someone what they are thinking about or what is on their mind. Similar to offering a small payment in exchange for someone's thoughts or ideas.
Example:
When Timmy looked lost in thought at the playground, his friend Sarah asked, "Hey Timmy, a penny for your thoughts? What are you thinking about?"
