A little boy went into a drug 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, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? The woman
replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts
your lawn now." replied boy. The woman responded that she was very
satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn.
The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, 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 all, 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
with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady,
I was talking to!"
