Ann's business mind
In that large house lived Mama Papa Dikans, her twelve children, and a servant couple. It would have been interesting when anyone arrived. In addition to the two dogs, there were six fish with white abdomens and coloured bodies, one saline, and four ducks. Papa Skins had a sharp mind and a strong work ethic. They used some of their own techniques for parenting kids. His particular favourite phrases were "discipline" and "self-reliance." Victor and Mary, who were two and five years old, attended his lectures on it. He also contributed to his discipline. Every home reflected Papa Dikans' ideal. Also receiving full support was Mama Dickens. The revolutionary educational programme developed by Papa Dick included the payment of tender on vacations. painting the residence When it came time to apply insecticides, transplant garden plants, or harvest tree fruit, he asked his kids to fill the tender. In other words, the kids choose the specifics of how much time and how many days they will spend on the assignment.
Assigning the group later would be up to Mama and Papa Dickens. According to Papa, it helps kids become smart, accustomed to various occupations, and love earning hard-earned money. Additionally, it boosts their self-assurance. He made the decision to paint the fence while on vacation. He spoke. I'll bring the paint, and only the boy named in the tender should be responsible for paying the labour rate and the necessary time. They all gathered in the living room to read each other's tenders when, to everyone's amazement, Little Ann was chosen to read them. Painting the fence took an eight-year-old fifteen days. Eight days were sufficient. But given her advanced age, Anne seems to have given it some thought. She would, however, need relatively little cash to paint such a large fence. Only fifty cents. Everyone started whispering when they heard that. Eva said, "Stupid Ann." Harry struck her before she had a chance to speak further. Rule five, he uttered. According to a law of sins, whoever was in front of the offender could slap them for using a foul phrase. Everyone faithfully adhered to this guideline. The attacker was forced to remain silent.
The paperweight was slammed upon the table by Papa. Everybody relaxed. "Everyone believes that Ann wrote this piece for too little money. Do you wish to alter anything?" Papa questioned Ann. Ann got up perplexed. Do you understand what a half dollar is, Dear Ann? Richie stated as he took hold of his painful fine "You can increase the price if everyone else in the tender is paying significantly more than you are. How eager are you to work for Ann?" Mom enquired. Ann couldn't stop thinking. Offer her some guidance. She chirped next, "I believe that fifty cents is sufficient for me. Mama",
"Reconsider, son." Mama responded, this time. Ann answered reluctantly, "That's what I told you, Mama Papa," with a forceful voice. "Okay." Father responded, "Painting the fence was given to Ann. She will do the project in fifteen days and be paid fifty cents once it is completed "He declared. Anne got right to work with enthusiasm. She gradually came to terms with her errors. Working alone is the first error. While the kids were playing, she was forced to work alone. She thought it was incredibly dull. She was exhausted as well. Additionally, she discovered from Maggie yesterday that a half dollar only buys one ice cream. She ought to have given it some thought. There should have been a lot of thinking put into it, not just a little. This is yet another error! Mama and Papa asked her for a dollar and a half times, but she refused. The time wasted, however, could not be recovered by turning that key upside down. It was incredibly fortunate that she had to go back fifteen days, but she had made up her mind that we had to follow through on things when we had dared to go against the grain and try them. She was determined to keep her word no matter what. However, Little Ann lost it while doing that—er, sneaking to inform someone. Well, Kathy, George, and Davis came to ask for assistance, but Annie firmly refused to aid them while politely declining. She seems to be saying that she is older now. In that, schools first opened. The thirteenth month of the drought is indicated. The fence was painted by Ann Bichari after she finished school. After dinner, she would occasionally experience eye closure from weariness, and by the time she got to bed, she would be just partially asleep. Mama remarked as she watched Papa irrigate the pots on the patio. "Pay Anne Willie; she deserves it." Will it work if she doesn't go to work? She is only acting in order to honour her promise. I fail to see this. Papa murmured, "See, she'll understand the value of money... A hard worker never wastes. She is going to be informed. When interacting with information she no longer knows, she will learn to use her head, not her thoughts. She will be aware that once spoken, a word cannot be taken back. The only way to learn these things, Stella, is by experience.
"Willy, do what you think is proper." Mama then entered. Ann has been using an alarm to get up in the mornings for the past two days in order to complete her tasks. Everyone gathered at the dining table in the evening. "Ann finished the job on schedule," Father said. "Ann, come on in. How much are you asking for this position?" Dad enquired. Ann's gullet constricted. She simply uttered, "Fifty cents, papa." Of sure, just a dollar and a half. Father said. The lunch was silent throughout. Ann was examining the half dollar while she was eating. She wished to stare at that half dollar forever. She went to her room to sleep after the supper, feeling as though a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She spotted a shoulder-length doll with blonde hair and blue eyes staring down at her as she was about to remove the sheet. She became lost.
