The DeliveryChild

A Fairy Tale about Work, Money, and a Cherry Bun. Children’s stories for growing children and young parents.

My name is Mark. I am two years and three days old, but I am already a very important person! Mama says I am her helper. And not just a helper, but a delivery child! That’s because my stroller and I are always by her side when she works. Mama is a courier. A courier is someone who brings important things. Papers in rustling envelopes, parcels in big and small boxes, treasures wrapped in magical bubble‑wrap and tape – people wait for all of this, because these are not just things, they are needed things, in the right place and at the right time.

Today we have a big workday. One long walk. Three hours at least. Maybe with a snack or lunch on the way. Maybe even a nap. We already had breakfast. I read all five of my favorite books. I showed Mama all the pictures. I let her know I had read. Mama said:

– Mark, let’s go for a walk, put on your work jacket!

That’s my favorite jacket, because in it I am a real professional. I put it on myself, because I know how. I take it from my very own hanger. Pants, socks, and sneakers are my usual ones. And I take a colored chalk with me. I put the chalk in my pocket.

We go to the stop – the tram is already waiting. I love trams. They are big, beautiful, they hum and roll like real knights. We go inside, Mama pays the fare. That is very important. I know that money is paper, coins, and cards that let you get the things you need. But money runs out, so you have to work. Work brings new money.
