Chapter 2
That night DJ thought up a bunch of ideas to earn money, she made a list with five things that would earn a lot.
Babysitting
Dog Walking
Lawn Mowing
Doing Extra Chores
Tutoring
DJ decided that she wanted to start with walking dogs. She put up flyers all over town, saying that for one day only dogs could get a wonderful exercise. People came with their dogs and two dollars. By the end of the day she had earned twelve dollars. But that still wasn't enough for her top.
So she decided that she would try something else. She handed out flyers to people.
"Hi, if you are looking for a babysitter you can stop looking! I am very responsible and I only charge four dollars an hour."
The babysitting job was not a great success, she only had two jobs. For a family with four children, one of them was three years old, another five, and there were twins of the age seven. That was very tiring. She got another twelve dollars for that. The other job was for Uncle Jesse and Rebecca, and that was with a family discount. She got ten dollars there.
It had been three days already and DJ had only earned $34.00. She had to have fifty in only four more days! She decided she would go talk to her dad.
"Dad, can we talk?"
"Sure thing, what is it?"
"Well, it has been three days since I started earning money. There isn't a lot of time left and I only have $34.00. Can you please help me?"
"Remember our deal, I'll give you your allowance but you have to do the rest yourself. I know you can do it, Deej."
With that DJ went back to work.
