One beautiful winter morning,a little boy of 10 years old or so went to a grocery shop to make a telephone call.Clearly,he changed his tone(語氣)of voice when speaking over the phone.When all this was happening,the store owner noticed and listened with great interest to the conversation that followed:
"Madam,I am a poor boy.Can you give me a job cutting grass on your lawn(草坪)?"the little boy asked.
"Sorry,I already have someone to cut my lawn,"the woman at the other end of the phone line replied.
"Madam,I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now."
"I'm very happy with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.He is doing a good job."
"Madam,I'll even sweep your curb(清掃路邊),so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach,F(xiàn)lorida."
"No,thank you."
Instead of getting angry,the little boy smiled and put back the receiver gently.
The store owner,who was listening to the conversation,walked over to the boy and said,"Son,I like your attitude and I would like to offer you a job."
"No,thanks.But I appreciate your offer."
"But you were really pleading(懇求)for a job when you were talking to the lady over the phone."
"No sir,I was just checking my performance on the job I already have.I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"the little boy replied.
