A BEAUTIFUL STORY
*A little boy went to a telephone booth
which was at the cash counter of a store and
dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to
the conversation: Boy : "Lady, Can you give me the job of
cutting your lawn?
Woman : (at the other end of the phone
line) "I already have someone to cut my
lawn."
Boy : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn
now."
Woman : I'm very satisfied with the person
who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll
even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
Woman : No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, the little boy
replaced the receiver. The Store-owner, who
was listening to all this, walked over to the
boy. Store Owner : "Son... I like your attitude; I
like that positive spirit and would like to
offer you a job."
Boy : "No thanks,
Store Owner : But you were really pleading
for one. Boy : No Sir, I was just checking my
performance at
the job I already have. I am the one who is
working for that lady I was talking to!" *
