"One day,I damaged my desk in some way.I had to tell my father I had broken the rule,and had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school.He agreed to give.My father said it would be too bad to have our face lost in front the whole school,he agreed to give me five dollars to hand over to the teacher.But before giving me the money he took me upstairs and gave me a beating."
"But as I had had one beating and wasn’t afraid of it any more,I decided I would take another beating at school and keep the five dollars.So that was what I did.That was the first money I ever got.”
