Elias: The Little Businessman

The other day, Elias got it in his head that he needed some more money. He asked me what he could do to earn money and I told him that he was expected to work around the house for free.

So he decided to make a whole bunch of paper airplanes and paper "twirly things," take them down to the sand pile where all the kids play after school, and sell them. I felt sorry for him because I knew he wouldn't sell anything and even worse, the wind was blowing pretty hard and I just knew they would all be swept away.

But he came home with 11 RMB.

Watch out Wall Street, Elias Marler is on his way!
