Helping Grandpa

One bright and sunny day Samantha and her little white kitten, Snowball went out into the back yard to see what Grandpa was doing. Grandpa was hard at work pulling weeds. Samantha asked Grandpa if she could help. Grandpa told her that the tool he was using was to sharp for her to use. Samantha told Grandpa that she had her own tool to use. With a slight chuckle in his voice, Grandpa told Samantha to bring her tool to him and he would give it a look over. Samantha ran into the house with her little white kitten following close behind. She quickly looked in her toy box and located her small plastic shovel. Scooping Snowball up in her arms she ran back outside holding her little plastic shovel and her little white kitten Snowball in her arms.
"Grandpa, Grandpa," shouted Samantha, "I have just the right tool right here!" Grandpa scooped Samantha up into his lap and said, "Well lets just have a look here." Carefully turning over the little plastic shovel, Grandpa told Samantha that he did not think this tool would do the job. Samantha put her most determined look on her face and said, "Grandpa, I just know this tool will work." "I will dig and dig till all the weeds are gone!" Grandpa told Samantha that he was willing to give her a chance and would pay her $20 if she could get all the weeds out from around his tomato plants. Samantha put a BIG smile on her face and told Grandpa, "Yes, sir" and started working hard on digging up the weeds around the tomato plants. Thirty minutes later Grandpa stoped what he was doing to check on Samantha and to his amazement Samantha had dug up all the weeds around his tomato plants! He gladly paid Samantha her $20. Samantha jumped up and down for joy and her little white kitten, Snowball went "Mew, mew, mew.'
The End
(This story is about JC when he was 4 years old. He did go outside with his toy plastic pirate sword to help Grandpa get the weeds out of the garden. Grandpa was just so sure that plastic pirate sword would not cut the weeds down so Grandpa did offer JC $20 because Grandpa thought he would not have to pay JC! But to Grandpa's surprise JC did take a weed in one little hand and would whack away at that weed with his plastic pirate sword in his other hand until the weed did give away to the pressure and break off in his hand. Grandpa never did say he had to take the roots out too! And Grandpa did pay JC his $20!)

  2. It is not gambling, in the strict sense, if a bet is laid on the problem of a game of skill like billiards or soccer. The concern must depend upon probability, as in dice, or partly on probability, partly on skill, as in whist. Moreover, in strange parlance, a person who performs for small stakes to give zest to the sport is not said to gamble; gambling connotes playing in} for high stakes. 빅카지노 The following rules apply to informal gamblers who aren't in the commerce or enterprise of gambling.
