Young Entrepreneur Turns Cheerios Into $37,000 Revenue

Chapter 1: The Cheerios Phenomenon
In a remarkable twist of fate, young Matthew Riverwater has emerged as a unique figure in the business realm. At just eight years old, he starred in a Cheerios TV commercial but opted for an unconventional payment method: a lifetime supply of Cheerios instead of cash. Although his parents were initially disheartened by this choice, they ultimately respected his decision, unaware that Matthew had a clever plan in mind.
Despite not being particularly fond of Cheerios, Matthew recognized that his television appearance would stir jealousy among his classmates. During recess, he spun a captivating tale about his supposed obsession with the cereal, claiming he devoured an entire box on his way to school each day. He painted vivid pictures of visiting the nearby store, elated by the prospect of his "walking breakfast," and basked in the glory of his TV fame.
Matthew ensured his classmates absorbed every detail of his narrative. He then struck a deal with the local store owner, proposing to exchange his lifetime Cheerios supply for a 50% share of the profits. He assured the owner that the boxes would fly off the shelves, easily selling at triple the usual price. The allure wasn't merely the cereal itself; it was the envy and desire for revenge that drove his peers to purchase.
Initially skeptical, the shop owner soon witnessed the success of Matthew's scheme. For three months, the students would rise at the crack of dawn to secure Cheerios before Matthew could get his hands on them. Every day, Matthew would arrive at the shop to find the shelves bare, his classmates mocking him as they feasted on the overpriced cereal they had just purchased.
When questioned about maintaining his facade, Matthew revealed that he focused on counting the profits every time one of his classmates munched on Cheerios, using thoughts of money to suppress his laughter.
