Birthday Present for His Beloved

It was 李婕’s birthday on 16 April. AJ had wanted to give her a birthday present. I suggested a storybook & urged him to work for it. He was enthusiastic about it. Being a slow eater, the natural way to earn $ was to eat faster, within a stipulated time. We only had 3 days to work on it, with most meals outside, so his meals at home, if finished within a stipulated time, would earn him S$1.

Eventually, he earned S$4.50 over 6 meals. We proceeded to Popular bookstore to get a storybook and gotten this as he said this is her favourite story. The book cost S$4.60 after discount so I am donating 10 cents to him to help him top up the purchase.
