Pete is 12 years old. Two years ago, he dropped out of school, deciding that he had already lost a lot of time and it was time to earn money. Upon learning that her son had stopped going to school, Petina's mother cried for a long time. But after some time, Petya bought her French perfume and boots with his own money, which her mother could only dream of, and she calmed down. Soon the boy demanded that his mother refuse his father's alimony, and began to provide for the family himself.
