Profitable rakes

We were at Noah's baseball game tonight, and Sarah was begging me for money for the concession stand.  I told her I had no money.  During this whole exchange, my dad was telling her that the capital of Iceland is Reykjavik.  She ignored him, because she was focused on my cash (or lack thereof).  But when he said, "I'll give you a dollar if you can say 'Reykjavik'", he immediately got her attention.  I overheard this conversation while the kids were getting ready for bed:
S:  Grandpa gave me a whole dollar just because I said something!
N:  Wow!  What did you say?
S:  I said thanks.
N:  No, I mean what did you say to earn the dollar?
S:  Oh.  I don't know.  Something about rakes...
