Check Your Work
A store owner overheard a boy talking on his phone:
Boy: Ma'am, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman on phone: I already have someone to cut my lawn.
Boy: 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) “I’ll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
Woman: No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, he hung up. The store owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy. “Son, I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.”
Boy: “No thanks.” “But you were really pleading for one,” the store owner said. “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!”
Moral? Always check your work and don’t take anything for granted!
