115.世界上最好的售貨員
哈里在櫥窗上看到一則廣告。上面寫著：“招聘世界上最好的售貨員，報酬優厚。”
“我是一名了不起的售貨員，”哈里自言自語，“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。”
“你必須證明你是最好的，”經理說。
“我會通過你給我的每一次考驗的。”哈里告訴他。
“好。”
經理從桌子里取出一箱糖果。
“我上星期買了一千箱這種糖果。如果你能在周末之前把這些全賣出去，你就能得到這份工作。”
“這很簡單。”哈里說。
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，竭力想賣出一千箱糖果。
結果他一箱也沒賣出去。
糖果質量太差，以至于送人都沒人要。
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？”
“是把這一千箱糖果賣給你的人，”哈里說。
