We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 11 we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 12 and making a sale. One lesson stands out in my 13 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 14 a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed （磨破）and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to 15 to buy anything.

After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 22 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?” “How much you got?” Dad asked.

The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98. “That’ll just 27 it,” Dad said as he 28 the sale. Dad’s reply still 29 in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 30 .
