Answer: working for Farmer Lyle
Napoleon and a few other boys are looking for work at the farm, which involves lifting chickens up from their nest and taking their eggs, then placing the chickens back in their cage-nest. After Lyle explains the job, Napoleon asks "Do they have large talons?" Farmer Lyle, as dumb as he is, has no idea what a talon is. Napoleon takes the chickens and he gets eggs, but one poops on his arm during the process. As reward of their work, they get lunch: toast with flies flying around it and cracked eggs mixed up into a juice-like substance to drink. Napoleon takes a little of each and consumes it. Since Farmer Lyle is out of dollar bills, he pays them all in spare change. That's when Napoleon discovers he has made six dollars for six hours of work.
