NEIGHBOR ASKED MY SON TO SHOVEL SNOW FOR $10 A DAY BUT REFUSED TO PAYā€”SO I TAUGHT HIM A LESSON ON HOW TO DO BUSINESS My neighbor, Mr. Dickinson, loves flaunting his wealth, always bragging about his business ventures and luxury toys. So when he offered my 12-year-old son, Ben, $10 to clear his driveway each time it snowed, Ben was over the moon. He talked endlessly about the gifts heā€™d buy for the family with his earnings, his little face lit up with excitement. Ben worked hard through the first few snowfalls, waking early to shovel before school, cheeks flushed from the cold. Each evening, heā€™d proudly tally his earnings, his eyes shining with joy. But two days before Christmas, Ben came home in tears. He wouldnā€™t talk at first, but after some coaxing, the story spilled out. ā€œMr. Dickinson says HEā€™S NOT PAYING ME A SINGLE CENT,ā€ Ben choked out, his voice trembling. ā€œHe said I should take this as a lessonā€”to never accept a job without a contract.ā€ Anger surged through me. What kind of man cheats a child to teach ā€œbusiness lessonsā€? Ben had poured his heart into this job, and Dickinson dismissed it like a joke. I hugged my son tightly. ā€œDonā€™t worry, sweetheart,ā€ I said, my voice steady. ā€œIā€™ll handle this.ā€ That evening, I grabbed my coat and marched to Mr. Dickinsonā€™s door.ā¬‡ļø See less

“You gave me all I needed, and I’m sorry if I was ever an added burden to you because of that. I promise I’ll do my best to become a successful person. I will come back and repay you for all you’ve done!” Chuck said as he left his foster family. After leaving their home, he enrolled in university.

The lawn was overgrown, and the white paint on the walls was almost entirely obscured by vines. As he walked toward the front door, he wondered if anyone still lived there. Chuck rang the doorbell, but it no longer worked. He was about to leave, thinking the house was abandoned, when he heard a faint voice from inside. Gathering his resolve, he decided to knock.
