Lawn Boy

by:  Gary Paulsen




One day I was 12 years old and broke.  I set out to mow some lawns with grandpa's old mower.  One client was Arnold, a stockbroker, who offered to teach me about: the beauty of capitalism.

The grass grew and so did business.  Arnold invested my money in many things.  One of them was a prizefighter.  All of a sudden, I was the sponsor of my very own fighter, Joey Pow.  That's when my summer got really interesting.
