Came across this story while reading RD's joke app on my phone.



Pet Sitter

We were going out of state for 6 weeks and asked the neighbours' nine-year-old son to care for our dog. We explained that the job required feeding, grooming, waking and, most of all, plenty of love and play time. Then we asked him what the job would be worth to him.

"I'll give you 10 bucks", he said.

How nice is that story! As simple as it may be, it somehow touched me. Oh the innocence, purity and love a child has.
