One day, suddenly our man has 30Rs in pocket! We always gave him 10Rs on friday as snack money which he religously spent ..so there was no way he could have that 30Rs in his pocket ...So was curious to know how he got it so started inquiry ..
First question where he got the money, his eyes watered ..so was sure, the next thing he would say would be a "Dhamaka" ...
After the needed persuation, he told me that our neighbor (same age as his) gave him ..I called that guy and asked him why he had given 30Rs to Cheekoo ...he said, "No uncle I gave him 50Rs" !! I was zapped ..When I asked him why he gave him that money he said ...
" Uncle, he told me next time you take the kids out, he will refer my name to accompany you. For referring my name, he asked for 50Rs" !!
Everytime I took the kids out, normal practice was to pick 6 kids and ask them to choose one each so that we have a different crowd everytime we go and they get a chance to network with other kids. But my son found a business case in my noble cause and made money!!!
To showoff his "earning" skills, he had planned this much earlier and discussed with other kids before he implemented his brilliant idea. When he got the 50Rs, he spent 20Rs on all other kids to celebrate his first earnings ! Icing on the cake was that the kid who gave him 50Rs had stolen that money from his house!!, that was more worrying ...
Peer pressure I guess ...
