Question

Bill, a 13-year-old boy, thought he had grown up to be a man. But his parents told him: “You won′t be a real man until you begin to think about helping others.”

One morning, his parents gave him some money to buy some milk. Outside a shop he saw a homeless old man who looked very sick. Bill went to him and asked: “What′s wrong with you?”

The old man answered: “I haven′t had any food for two days…”

Remembering his parents′ words, Bill said to the old man: “Let′s go to the restaurant.”

When they got there, Bill asked the waiter to bring out bread and coffee to the old man. The old man finished the meal quickly. After the waiter took away the plate and the cup, the old man said: “Sorry for giving you too much trouble. I′m fine now. I′ll never forget your kindness! You are a very good young man.”

Bill was happy when he heard this. Just when he wanted to pay for the meal, the waiter came. To their surprise, Bill and the old man learned that their food was free because it was the birthday of the boss, and they were the first customers (顧客) that day.
