A little boy went
into a store, reached for a soda carton
and pulled it over to the telephone. He
climbed onto the carton so that he could
reach the buttons on the phone and
proceeded to punch in seven digits. The
store owner observed and listened to the
conversation.
The boy asked, "Maam, Can you give me
the job of cutting your lawn?" The woman
replied, "I already have someone to cut
my lawn."
"I will cut your lawn for half the price
of the person who cuts your lawn now."
replied the boy. The woman responded
that she was very satisfied with the
person who was presently cutting her
lawn.
The little boy was even more perseverant
and said, "I'll even sweep your curb and
your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will
have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm
beach, Florida." Again the woman
answered in the negative.
With a smile on his face, the little boy
replaced the receiver.
The store owner, who was listening to
this conversation, walked over to the
boy and said, "Son I like your attitude;
I like that positive spirit and would
like to offer you a job."
The little boy replied, "No thanks, I
was just checking my performance on the
job I already have. I am the one who is
working for the lady I was talking to!". |
