Getting rich in a hurry

My sister Eunice  may remember this.  Dad had five brothers and  one sister -- Aunt Jane  had three girls and lived in Waldo.   One day dad was reading a letter from his sister.  She said that she was paying Sally (about our age) five cents an  hour  to work in the garden. Sally ran back and forth checking how much wealth she had acquired.

Daddy said a nickel was not much.  Eunice said it was  less than we were paid -- which was nothing.
