My broker often brings his 9 year old son to work with him because he lives in an
area with no playmates for the child. Rainey is a character and all of us
sorta pamper him and sometimes cater to him. He asks to do chores
for us for a few cents pay.
He came into my office the other day and said he had 20 cents and needed to
borrow 35 cents to go with it to buy himself a coke. He asked if he could
borrow that from me. I had two quarters and he figured the math and left
with his 35 cents. Before he left, however, he confessed that he'd borrowed
the other 20 cents from Jeff, another agent.
I figured he'd forget all about owing me any money.
BUT, when I got to work today and opened my door I found this note. He had
repaid my 35 cents! I thought it was wonderful that he remembered and
repaid. I complimented his dad on raising the child right. With a business
demeanor like this I figure we have a little entrepreneur in the making.
(Alas, he didn't pay any interest!) When I bragged to the receptionist about the note she replied "Yes, he borrowed a penny from me because he only had 34 cents."
This is Rainey, our little entrepreneur in training!
