At the end of the week, to be nice, they even give her a thank-you card with $10. Very excited, the girl shows the money to her mother. They decide to go to the bank to deposit the money in a savings account. The banker, impressed, asks the girl “how did you earn this?” The girl responds proudly that she helped the builders next door. The banker asks her if she plans to work again next week.
