    Mr. Young has a big shop in the centre of the city. He tells all his employees (雇員) to be friendly to the buyers and he gets a lot of money.

    One day an old woman went to the shop to buy a silk blouse. When she came out,she left her wallet in it. A girl picked it up and found there were five hundred dollars in it. She looked around and nobody saw it. She put it into her pocket quickly. Soon the old woman came back to look for it,of course she failed. That evening Mr. Young was told about it. He was very angry and sent the girl away. Then he decided to employ an honest man to take her place. A few young men came,but none of them could satisfy (使滿意) him.

    This morning,a young man came in his office. He asked ,“Do you smoke,sir?”

    “No,sir”’ answered the young man.
