When I was young, each family worked in our father's store. We started working by doing small jobs like cleaning, tidying shelves and packing, and later graduated （毕业）to

serve customers. As we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than living and selling things.

One day, I was tidying the toy area. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was wearing an old brown coat, and his hair and shoes were dirty. The little boy looked poor to me—too poor to afford to buy anything. He looked around the toys, picked up some of them, and then carefully put them back.

At that time, Dad walked over to the boy. He smiled and asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a birthday present to buy for his brother. Dad told him to take his time and look around. He did.

After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy plane, walked up to my dad and said, "How much for this. Sir?

“How much do you have?" Dad asked.

The little boy held out his hand and opened it. He counted the coins and said, “27 cents. But the price of the toy plane is ---US$3.98!”

“That will just about do it. "Dad said softly. Dad's reply still rings in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store. I didn't notice the old coat or the dirty shoes. What I saw was a lovely child with a treasure.
