“OK, I will!” Harry answered.
“Good!” The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk. Last week l bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job,” said the manager.

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?”
