and he handed her a piece paper

And after wiping her hands on an apron,

For mowing the yard, five dollars,
and for making up my own bed this week, one dollar.
For going to the store, fifty cents.
and playing with little brother while you went shopping, twenty-five cents.
Taking out the trash, one dollar,
and for getting a good report card, five dollars.
And for raking the yard, two dollars,
total owed, fourteen dollars and seventy-five cents.

and a thousand memories flashed through her mind;
so she picked up pen and she turned the letter over,
and this is what she wrote:
