Book Cover & Preview Text
At the end of the day before he took Lisa home, Jonathon pulled out his wallet and paid her twenty dollars. Since she had worked hard and done an excellent job he decided he should pay her something. Lisa’s eyes bugged. “Did I earn that much money,” she asked excitedly. She hadn’t expected him to pay her anything. He was just company for her until her parents returned from the doctor. “You earned more but that’s all you’re getting,” he answered and winked at the excited girl. She held the twenty dollar bill all the way home. She hadn’t brought a purse or anything so she just held it up and looked at it and put her hand down. Soon she lifted it again and looked at it. Jonathon was amused. She could have put it in her pants pocket but she wanted to look at it all the way home.

About the Book
Jonathon often babysat the neighbors' daughter, Lisa. Her hair was never comb and she was always dirty from playing in the dirt. He wondered what she would look like when she grew older. She was pitiful looking now. He often took her to his garage because the neighbors' needed a baby sitter. Lisa was a pest with more questions to ask than he had time to answer but she became interested in washing and cleaning cars. Perhaps she would be worth something since she could clean cars so well. He called her his grease monkey and he often wondered if she would still want to work around cars when she was older.
