The boy asked: "Madam, Can you give me the job of cutting your grass?

The woman replied: "I already have someone to cut my grass."

"Madam, I will cut your grass for half the price of the person who cuts your grass now." replied boy. The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her grass.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered: "Madam, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest grass in the neighborhood" Again the woman answered negatively. With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver.

The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy and said: "Son, I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
