MARK TWAINS FIRST MONEY
Somebody once asked Mark Twain whether he could remember the first money he ever earned.
I remember quite well, the famous writer answered. It happened at school. Schoolboys in those days had very little respect for their teachers and even less for their desks. The boys used pens and pencils and even knives to draw stars and faces, or to write their names on their desks. At last, the school principal said; The next time anybody does such thing, he will have to pay five dollars, or he will receive a beating in front of the whole school.
Soon after that, I had to go to my father and ask him to give me five dollars. I was honest enough to explain that I could agree to receive a beating instead, but he said: No, I cant allow you to connect our name with such things. So Ill pay the five dollars. But you must suffer for what you have done. Ill give you the beating here, at home.
So he beat me, and then gave me the five dollars to take to school. But I decided that the beating didnt hurt so much, and another beating at school wouldnt be worse. So I told them to give trie a beating in front of the whole school, and I kept the five dollars. And that was the first money I ever earned.
