Read the below conversation. Boy: Dad, Dad! Can I have some money to buy a Game Boy? Dad: A Game Boy? Those are too expensive. Boy: No, they're not. There only twenty-five dollars. I've got forty-two dollars before, but Mom didn't let me buy one. Dad: Well, let's look. Let's think of some ways so that ... Hmm. Well, maybe we can come up with some ways that you can earn money. Boy: Let's see ... allowance. Dad: Okay, well allowance. So, how much money can you make a week with allowance? What did Mom tell you? Boy: She said that if, umm, you get your work done on time, you can get $1.25. Dad: Okay, so if you get your work done, you get $1.25. Okay, and what are some other ways that you can earn a little bit more money? Boy: Umm, let's see. I could work for people. Dad: Okay, well, maybe you could come up with some odd jobs. What are a couple of things that you could do to earn some money, maybe around here, in the neighborhood? Boy: Umm. Dad: What about opening up a lemonade stand? Boy: I can try that. That'll be fun. Dad: Okay. What else can you do? Boy: Hmmm. Most the kids on our block like candy, so I can start one of those. Dad: Okay, so maybe selling some candy. [Yeah.] And, what else? Boy: Umm. I could ... umm ... take out the trash everyday. Dad: Well, I think you have some ideas, so I guess if you save long, you'll be able to earn enough money to buy something you want. Sound good? Boy: Like a Game Boy? Dad: Uh, something you need, let's say. Boy: Uh! (Great surprise and disgust) What would the listener say?
