Chapter 8, Section 5 Selling Mopsy's footprints?
Only with motivation can we have the power of thinking and action. ? ?

The little boy Daniel's family is not poor, on the contrary, he is very rich, but when his mother is going to celebrate her birthday, the little boy Daniel wants to buy a birthday present for his mother with the money he earned.He had seen a beautiful brooch in Mr. Gate's shop that must have looked pretty on Mama, but it cost three dollars to buy. ?
Luckily, Daniel's only rabbit, Mopsy, is about to give birth.Daniel thought: Mom's gift depends entirely on it. ?
It seems that it is really difficult to wait for a rabbit to give birth to a baby rabbit!Daniel was so anxious that he ran to check the cage every morning.Finally, one morning, there were five more little rabbits in the cage! ?
Taking care of six rabbits is a bit much for Daniel, but he is very happy to watch these five little rabbits grow up. ?
One day, Daniel thought these little guys could be sold, so he took a little rabbit to try, and got fifty cents, and he sold two more the next day, and finally Daniel gave the rest of the little rabbits All sold. ?
Now, he has two yuan and fifty cents in his hand.Still short of fifty cents to afford that pretty brooch in Mr. Gater's shop, but he had no other bunnies to sell and couldn't sell Mopsy--he loved it so much!Daniel really didn't know what to do with himself. ?
In the end, Daniel had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the two dollars and fifty cents to see Mr. Gate. ?
"I want to buy that beautiful pin for mom," Daniel said, "I can't pay the full amount right now, but I'll figure out how to get the rest of the fifty cents ASAP."?
"Well," said Mr. Gate, "I'll save the pin for you and put it in a birthday box."?
On the first day after Easter, Daniel came to see Mr. Gate. "Here's the fifty cents," he said proudly. ?
"How did you get it?" asked Mr. Gate. ?
"I sold Mopsy's footprints," Daniel said. ?
Mr. Gate showed a puzzled look on his face, and Daniel smiled and said his way of selling footprints. ?
A snowfall the day before Easter reminded Daniel of the footprints of the Easter bunny.He went to ask Mrs. Smith if she wanted to buy rabbit footprints, which would be her Easter present for her young son. ?
She said she would give Daniel a dime if he let Mopsy walk around her yard.Four more mothers also wanted to have rabbit footprints in the yard, so Daniel got fifty cents from these five mothers. ?
"I took Mopsy to the five yards that night, and they went around and left many footprints. On Easter morning, the children thought that the rabbit had visited them quietly before Easter."?
Mr. Gate laughed when Daniel finished speaking. ?
Mind walk?

In the 20th century, many psychologists put forward the drive-incentive theory when studying motivation.At a small gathering, a psychologist told this heartwarming story to prove his theory. ?
Daniel wanted to buy a pin for his mother as a birthday present, which became the incentive for him to act. It was this driving force that allowed him to use his wisdom and finally realize his wish. ?
