問題詳情:
We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 1 we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 2 and making a sale.
One lesson stands out in my mind. It was shortly before Christmas. I was in the eighth grade and was working evenings, cleaning up the 3 section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in.

“How much you 11 ?” Dad asked.

“That’ll just 16 it,” Dad said as he 17 the sale. Dad’s reply still 18 in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the 19 torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 20 .
