When I was little, he used to flash a bright, shiny silver dollar and ask, ‘Would you like this Ivanka?’ I never knew where he got all those shiny new coins, but he always seemed to have a ready supply. And of course I’d nod or smile or jump up and down. ‘Well,’ he’d say, ‘before I can give it to you, you need to ask your grandmother if she has any chores for you to do.’ Then I’d find my grandmother and see if she needed any help, at which point she’d usually ask me to set the table or sweep the floor or help her mash the potatoes for dinner. When I was through, I’d go back to my grandfather and report on my efforts. ‘Very good,’ he’d say, handling over the silver dollar. ‘This is for all your hard work. You’ve earned it.’
