" I' m a great sale *** an." Harry told himself." I can sell anything. I'll go in and ask for that job."
He went into the building and spoke to the manager.
"I'm the best sale *** an in the world
" he said. "Give me the job. "
"You must prove you're the best
" the manager said.
"I'll pass every test you give me." Harry told him.
"Good."
The manager took a box of candy out of his desk .
"Last week
I bought a thousand boxes of this candy. If you can sell them all before the end of the week
you can have the job.
"That's easy
" Harry said.
He took the box of candy and left the office.
Every day and all day
he went from shop to shop
trying to sell boxes of the candy .
He couldn't sell one.
The candy was so bad he couldn't even give it away.
At the end of the week he went back to the manager.
"I'm sorry
sir
" he said
" I was wrong about myself . I'm not the best sale *** an in the world
but I know who is.
"Oh
" said the manager. "Who?"
"The person who sold you a thousand boxes of this candy
" Harry said.哈裏在櫥窗上看到壹則廣告。上面寫著：“招聘世界上最好的售貨員，報酬優厚。”
“我是壹名了不起的售貨員，”哈裏自言自語，“任何東西我都能賣出去，我要進去應聘這份工作。”
他走進大樓去和經理說這件事。
“我是世界上最好的售貨員，”他說，“把這件工作給我吧。”
“妳必須證明妳是最好的，”經理說。
“我會通過妳給我的每壹次考驗的。”哈裏告訴他。
“好。”
經理從桌子裏取出壹箱糖果。
“我上星期買了壹千箱這種糖果。如果妳能在周末之前把這些全賣出去，妳就能得到這份工作。”
“這很簡單。”哈裏說。
他拿著這箱糖果離開了辦公室。
每天從早到晚，他從這家店走到那家店，竭力想賣出壹千箱糖果。
結果他壹箱也沒賣出去。
糖果質量太差，以至於送人都沒人要。
周末他回去見經理。
“很抱歉，先生，”他說，“我搞錯了。我不是世界上最好的售貨員，但我知道誰是最好的。”
“哦，”經理問，“是誰？”
“是把這壹千箱糖果賣給妳的人，”哈裏說。
