THE BOY IN THE STORY HELPED HIS FAMILIY DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION BY GETTING A JOB. HE DID NOT TELL ON HIS DAD. IN THE STORY THE BOY SOLD NEWSPAPER FOR MONEY. IN THE STORY HE LISTENED TO JACOB AND DIDN'T TELL ON HIS FATHER. SELLING NEWSPAPERS IS A GOOD WAY TO EARN  MONEY HONESTLY. THIS REMINDS ME OF WHEN I SOLD NEWSPAPERS TO EARN FIVE BUCKS.
