Harry saw an ad in the window. It said: "Wanted. The Best Salesman in the
World. Top Pay."#
"I'm a great salesman," Harry told 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. "Give me the job."#
"You must prove you're the best," the manager said.#
"I'll pass every test you give me." Harry told him.#
"Good."#
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."#
"That's easy," Harry said.#
He took the box of candy and left the office.#
Every day and all day, he wenti from shop to shop, trying to sell boxes of the
candy.#
He couldn't sell one.#
The candy was so bad he couldn' even give it away.#
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.&
