Harry finished his college and wanted to find a job in the city. One day he saw an advertisement in a window. It said, "Wanted. The best salesman in the world. Top Pay. "

“I am a great salesman. ”Harry said to himself. “I’m sure that I can sell anything. I’ll go in and ask for that job. ’’

So Harry went into the building. He saw a manager in it. He said to the manager.“Good morning. I saw your advertisement. I think I’m the best salesman in the world. Give me the job, please.” “You must prove(證明)that you are the best，” the manager said. “I’ll pass every test that you give me, ”Harry said. “Good.” the manager said, and he took a box of sweets out of his desk. “Last week I bought a thousand boxes of the sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job.” “That’s easy.” Harry said.

He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.

At the end of the week he went back to the manager. “I am 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 do you think is the best?”
