Little Johnny Smith had always been a very naughty young man and he was always getting into loads of trouble due to that also. He had this amazing ability to mimic the voice of grown ups and would often phone up random people and bug them with voice impersonations. He had wanted to have his mom and dad buy him a bike for his birthday but as he had not scored good grades and his parents were not financially so well off they were unable to do so. Little Johnny was sitting with his dad and asked him how a kid at his age could make his own money so he could buy his own bike. His dad told him that he could do many things like deliver newspaper, or clean up peoples lawns. He also suggested that he help the neighbors with their yard work and he’d make up enough money in no time.

While this conversation was goin on all of Johnny’s family members joint in and started giving him similar suggestions which didn’t quite get Johnny excited. Until after about an hour of talking his mother said something that appealed to him. She told him to have a yard sale. After Johnny had left the room she said that his father and she had been planning a long time to clean out the garage as it was full of stuff and continued to say that she was sure there would be a lot of stuff that he could sell. Not hearing this as he had gotten straight to work and started to plan how he was going to sell the yard as that is what he understood was the meaning of a yard sale he called up a realtor. The realtor told him not to call as he was just a child. At the second attempt Johnny mimicked his dad’s voice and as that got the realtor listening he struck up a deal. The next day the realtor came by the house and with his parents not home Johnny was happy to let the realtor measure the plot.

Once it was measured he went away and came back that very evening with some potential buyers followed by trucks loaded with building materials. Mr Smith surprised to see so many people in his lawn came running outside. The realtor introduced him self and told him the people had decided to buy the yard and start work immediately. At that Mr Smith immediately called the cops and had him arrested for trespassing after which they filed a case against him and are suing him for trying to sell their property illegally.
