His parents, tired of his attitude, agree to pay him for his chores but teach him a valuable lesson. Wesley soon finds himself paying for everything, including meals, clothes, and rides to school.
He realizes that being independent isn’t as easy as he thought and apologizes to his parents for his selfishness. His parents remind him that love and family support aren’t about payment, but about helping one another. Wesley learns to appreciate everything they do for him and helps his family more.
