If you live in the United States,the law says you can't have a fulltime job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15,you can work parttime after school or on weekends,and during summer,you can work 40 hours each week. Does that mean if you are younger than 14 ,you can't earn (賺) your own money? Of course not!Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie,11. told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena,13 ， makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors. And Reisa,12 ， said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine,13. writes articles for different magazines ！
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money,you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others,using technology (技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it. However,when you make your own money,you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, "I am blind,please help. " There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them in the hat. He then took the sign,turned it around,and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said,but in a different way." What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day and I can't see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day,but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
