So I really don't know if the story I'm about to tell you guys today qualify as me "getting paid" but seeing how the men in this story handed some amount of money to me because I impressed them, I think that pretty much means that I was paid right?
Okay I know you guys might be a little bit confused on what I'm saying because I haven't told you guys the story yet, so why don't you guys grab your popcorn, sit back and relax while I tell you guys the story about how my two lovely legs made me some cool cash some many years ago.
You know, I've always thought I would end up on the big screens as a professional footballer because of how talented I was with the ball, my dad even got me a pair of nice football boots and registered me to a local club hoping that I improved and maybe got lucky to play abroad, but none of that happened.
One day, while I and some friends were playing street football in our street, some elderly men came to watch us. You know that thing where they say some days are your days to shine and some days just aren't, that day was my day to shine.
That day I had more control over the ball than Messi and Ronaldo ever did even if they were put together. We must have been entertaining the men so much because they later called us and told us that if we were able to score five goals in a row without anyone scoring us, they would give us some amount of money.
Me and my guys immediately got to work because we were confident it was something we could achieve, like I said, it was my day to shine.
We started the game and before the men knew what was happening, we already scored the first four goals. They had decided to make it a little bit more interesting by adding more money to the prize money for anyone in my team who would score the fifth goal and when I did, I remember being so excited that I had later rushed home to show my brothers the money I've made with my two feets.
That day was the first day I made my first earning in anything.
