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’m 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 that you’re 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 this 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. Every day and all
day he went from shop to shop, trying to sell boxes of the sweets. But he
couldn’t sell one. The sweets were so bad that he couldn’t even give them 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 do yon think is the

sweets." Harry thought it was easy to sell the sweets because ______.
