Me to student: "If you can play this one line of music without a mistake, it's yours!!"
I felt I was safe, knowing well my student's tendency to miss notes. As soon as he saw the money, however, everything changed. That twenty-dollar bill accomplished more than all of my talking.
He then proceeded to play the line of music perfectly with nary a miss. Reluctantly, but happily, I handed him his reward. "WOW! Gas money, he said! Gee, thanks!"
