There’s a young man I know who is very ambitious, and always trying to find ways to make money. He and his Dad cut down a tree that was blocking access to their backyard, and they both split up the wood into a big pile. I needed some wood for campfires around here and saw the hand written sign he made for selling wood to make money, so I asked him how much it was. He told me $50 for a whole truckload. I told him that was too much wood for such a small price, so I told him I wanted $20 worth, one layer stacked across that back of my truck so I could get it out. Not only did he stack it nice and neat, and up to the top of the bed, but he also gave me big pieces on one side and smaller pieces on the other. Then he gave me a pile of kindling, and a couple bags of starter, which was wood shavings that he bagged up while it was still dry. That kind of service should be rewarded, so I gave him $25. I also told him to go to the party store and offer to sell them the whole pile, as they have a wood box that they separate into $10 bundles for state park campers.
I must also say, that is the best burning wood I’ve had for a campfire, burns nice and bright, clean and no crackling. I’m going back to get another load, if there’s any left.
Oh yea, Liam is 8 years old! take care of these young guys and they’ll take care of the world!
