The girl, Hessa, brings soft cookies to school each day, which sell out quickly.
"I am really surprised by what Hessa can do because she is usually very shy when it comes to trading,” Huspalita said.
However, Hessa recently considered stopping her sales due to the school head prefect threatening to report her to the teacher.
"I understand that because the students queue up outside the classroom to buy the cookies, but even some teachers have bought them,” Huspalita said.

Despite this, she encouraged her daughter to continue.
"It would be a loss to stop trading. It is amazing to see her entrepreneurial spirit at such a young age," she said, reminiscing about her own childhood selling sweet potato chips at school.
