Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Where Your Treasure Is: Being the Personal Narrative of Ross Sidney, Diver Speaking of money - and it´s a mighty popular topic - the investment of the first twenty-five cents I ever earned, all at a crack, ought to have directed my narrow way. Ten minutes after I had galloped gleefully home with that quarter-dollar from Judge Kingsley´s hay-field, my good mother led me down to Old Maid Branscombe´s little book-store and obliged me to buy a catechism. I earned that money by hauling a drag-rake for a whole day around behind a hay-cart, barefoot and kicking against the vicious stubbles of the shaven field. I honestly felt that I did not deserve the extra penance of the catechism. However, that first day´s work gave me my earliest respect for money - earned money. And I also remember that Judge Kingsley, when he paid me, sniffed and said I hadn´t done enough to earn twenty-five cents.
