Harry saw an advertisement in a window. It said, “Wanted. The best salesman (推销员) in the world.” “I’m a great salesman,” Harry said to himself. “I can sell anything. I’ll go in and ask for that job.”
He went into the building and spoke to the manager. “I’m the best salesman in the world,” he said. “I need the job.” “You must prove (证明) you’re the best,” the manager said.
“I’ll pass every test you give me,” Harry told him.
Then the manager took a box of candy out of his desk. “Last week, I bought a thousand boxes of this candy. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job.”
Harry took the boxes of candy and left the office. He went from shop to shop, trying to sell boxes of the candy, but he couldn’t sell one.
At the end of the week, he went back to the manager. “I’m sorry, sir,” he said. “I was wrong about myself. I’m not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.”
“Oh,” said the manager. “Who?”
“The person who sold you a thousand boxes of this candy,” Harry said.
