The next morning he woke up and it was snowing. Great, he thought, now I can get to work. He grabbed his note book and his pens and began writing. He folded the paper and put it in his pocket, and put on his warm clothes and boots. He went outside and grabbed the snow shovel, and started walking. The first house he came to had the lights on. he walked to the door and knocked. the door opened, and he handed the man the note. The man nodded, and he went to work. After 30 minutes he was done. He knocked on the door again, and the man smiled and gave him a cup of Hot Chocolate. Then he gave him a ten dollar bill. Damien smiled, and said thank you. He drank his Chocolate and headed for the next house. By the end of the day, he was pretty tired. He started waklking home, and he was pretty happy. He put the shovel away, and went in the house. He sat down, and his Mom came over and asked him if he wanted some dinner. He said yes, and he pulled out his money. they counted it, and he had Sixty seven dollars. He asked his mom to put it away for his truck. His Mom smiled and gave him a big hug.
