Little Daymond Learns To Earn Novels & Stories

Mom froze, as did Arnold. The crowd of onlookers fell into a stunned silence. "What's the matter? You think that's too little?" I looked down at them condescendingly. "Mom, you're the one who taught me that if you want something, you have to earn it. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. "And Arnold—don't just stand there. You can scrub the tires. I'll give you a dollar per tire. But if they aren't spotless, you don't get paid."

To walk an even longer distance, they had to drive cars. The sun cast its last glow behind them as Dawn got into the car. He sighed in relief and turned on the light on the roof of the vehicle. With illumination, Aqua could finally see up close how much money they earned from the short performance at the park. There were many coins but also a few notes. The mermaid had no idea how to count money, so Dawn taught her the basics as they counted together. “Is that a lot of money? Do we have enough for gas? We can do this again tomorrow morning if there isn’t enough. I will sing until I lose my voice if I have to!”

Mason nodded. "I know. That's the money I earned myself." "You earned?" Nyla repeated. The couple stared at Mason in disbelief. How could a five-year-old possibly earn that kind of money? Damon frowned and crouched beside him. "Buddy, do you know there's 1 trillion dollars in that account? Do you understand how much that is?" Mason shook his head. "No... but it really is the money I earned." Damon asked, "Then tell Daddy, how did you earn it?"

Nathan asked when he saw them, "Whoa, my baby has earned lots of money today! Come, let me have a look." Luna immediately hid her money. "Hmph, I won't let you see it." Nathan imitated her tone before he pointed his pinky finger while placing his other hand on his hip. "Hmph, forget it if you don't want to show me! I am not even interested! I earn much more than you do! I earn a wad of cash per day whereas you earn a piece per day!" He exclaimed. Luna pouted while yelling, "I'll earn much more than you once I grow up!"

At midnight, we closed up and counted our revenue for the day. After deducting the expenses, we managed to earn a little over 20 dollars. I breathed a silent sigh of relief. In the past, I had heard rumors that people would pick on new stall owners, but it seemed those rumors couldn't be trusted. I bought two sandwiches and handed one to Sandra. She rolled up her sleeves before taking a bite. "My mom is always complaining about how I'm not finding a proper job, but my dream is actually to open a small shop of my own in the future.

“Alright, alright, I can't win with the two of you against one,” Carrie sulked. “Give me money to spend. I'm out of money.” She reached out her hand toward Camryn, wanting her to give her money. Camryn slapped her hand away. “Even Trenton knows to take advantage of the winter break to find a part-time job and earn some pocket money. You’re perfectly capable, yet you don’t look for a job.

I might give up because it is so painful. …. The next day .... I prepared early for school as I always do. Mandie and Claire are known for their late coming. They are just spoiled brat who are wasting mum's money in blue moon college. Mum said that she is not going to see me through college but luckily for me I gained a scholarship. Mum is rich but I don't live like a rich woman's child. Mum cares less about my well being, she only cares for Mandie and Clair. I need to work part-time jobs just to see for my basic needs except food and shelter but sometimes they gave me no food.

"Kids say the silliest things. Don't take it to heart, Beatrice." Raymond took my hand, looking sincere. "Rest assured, Mom. Once I've earned enough money, I'll buy you an RV! Then you can travel the entire country with it!" I raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, I heard a robotic voice the next second. "Calculating… 50 thousand dollars for an RV has been credited." Hearing the familiar notification sound in my head, I broke into a genuinely pleased smile. "I'll take good care of Adam." Raymond nodded in satisfaction. "Adam, you will take care of your grandma in the future, too, right?"

I'm not. The days have been difficult. Profits at the gas station fell sharply. Just by selling gasoline, you don't get enough to pay off debts. I had to double shifts, and give up my days off, so that my mother could dedicate herself to taking care of the children of a neighbor and thus be able to make a few extra dollars. A week ago, Henry got a part-time job at an ice cream parlor. He promised that all his earnings would go toward household expenses. Well, it's not that it's much, but it's the intention that counts.

I answered, closing the closet door with a soft click before moving to the other side of the room to arrange the shoes in the lower drawer. Moon let out an exaggerated sigh, her arms folding tightly over her small chest. “Noon is so far, Mommy. Daddy promised to teach me how to hunt,” she pouted, her lips pushing out like a disgruntled pup. At her words, I turned sharply, my heart giving a small lurch.
