Over the weekend, Ben finished "A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning." Since he first picked up the book, he read each night before going to sleep. True to my word, I forked over ten bucks. Ben said he didn't really understand the book, but when I quizzed him, he knew the answers; obviously he comprehended pretty well.
Yesterday, he asked me if I would pay him to read the next book in the Series. I told him no, that he should read it for fun. He didn't care for that suggestion. I told him that I had identified two other books he could read for cash. He complained that they were too long. Sigh.
So, the next move is his. I'm curious to see whether or not he enjoyed the experience enough to try it again. Or if his greed gets the better of him and he tries the other two, longer, books.
If I had to bet, I'd bet on greed.
