A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy. He found his 5-year -old son waiting for him at the door.
The boy asked, "Daddy, how much do you make every hour?" The father was angry at his son's question. When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked him for $ 10. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son.
The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour, the man calmed himself down (使....平静) and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10.
"Maybe I was too hard on you just now, "the man went into his son's room and said." Here's the $ 10 you asked for."
"Oh, thank you, Daddy!" The little boy said. Then he reached under his pillow (枕头), pulled out some crumpled (皱的) money and said, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow, I really want to have supper with you."
