A man came home from work late again, tired and annoyed, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy, may I ask you a question?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?" "That's 1of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily. "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" "If you 2know, I make $20.00 an hour." "Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I 3$10.00 please?" The father was angry. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is that you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, 4you go straight to your room and 5. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such 6games."
The little boy 7went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even 8about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had 9down, and started to think he may have been a little 10on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and 11, he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the 12of the little boy's room and opened it.
"Are you 13, son?" he asked. "No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took my anger out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled (大声喊) .
Then, reaching under his pillow, he 14out some more crumpled up (皱的) bills. The man,15that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. "Why did you want 16money if you already had some? " the father complained.
"Because I didn't have 17, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I 18an hour of your time?"
