Mark Twain was asked,one day if he could remember the first money he earned.He thought a long time before answering and then said,“Yes,it was at school.There was a rule in our school that anybody who damaged his desk with a pencil or a knife would be beaten in front of the whole school or would have to pay five dollars.One day I damaged my desk in some way.I had to tell my father I had broken the rule,and had to pay five dollars,or be beaten before the whole school.He agreed to pay.But before giving me the money he took me upstairs and gave me a beating.Now as I had had one beating got used to it,I decided I would take another besting at school and keep the five dollars.So that was what I did.That was the first money I ever earned.
