Poor Les had a dream of being a DJ. He went to a radio station every day for a week, 1 a job. Finally the station manager offered one to him, but with no pay! Les said thanks and 2 it. He was asked to get coffee and pick up lunches and dinners for the workers at the station. However, when possible, Les would go to the studio (演播室) and learn whatever he could. Back in his room at night, he 3 and prepared for an opportunity (机会).
One Saturday afternoon, one DJ named Rock drank too much and he seemed to have trouble with his 4. Suddenly, the phone rang. Les picked it up. He was the 5 person at the station. It was the station manager.
The manager knew Rock couldn't 6 his programme, so he asked Les to call one of the other DJs to come to help. Les said yes, but he waited about 15 minutes before he called the 7 that he found nobody. He was sure his opportunity was on its way.
The manager asked, "Young man, do you know how to work in the 8?"
"Yes, Sir," replied Les.
Les quickly walked into the studio, moved Rock aside and sat down at the desk. He was 9. He turned on the microphone and said, "Look out! This is me—Les Brown. There were none before me and there will be none after me…"
Les gave the listeners and his manager a big 10! He went on to have a successful life in politics, public speaking and television!
