A little boy went into a shop, reached for a box and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the box so that he could get the phone. The shop-owner watched and listened to the call.

Boy: Lady, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn(²Ýƺ)?

Woman: I already have someone to cut my lawn.

Boy: Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.

Woman: I’m very satisfied with the person who is now cutting my lawn.

Boy: Lady, I’ll even sweep your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in the town.

Woman: No, thank you.

With a smile on his face, the little boy put down the phone. The shop-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy, “Son, I like your attitude(̬¶È) and would like to offer you a job.”
