Question

Dr Swift was a famous man. Near his house lived a rich old lady who often sent him some presents by her servant, Dr Swift took her presents but never gave the boy anything. One day as Swift was busy with his writing, the boy ran into the room and hit the desk, and some books on it began to fail to the floor. Then he threw a plastic bag of meat on the desk and said, "My mistress has sent you some meat."

Swift turned round and said, "My boy, that is not the way to give someone a present. Now you sit in my chair, watch my way of doing it and learn your lesson."

The boy sat down. Swift went out, knocked on the door and waited. The boy said, "Come in." The doctor entered, walked to the desk and said, "If you please, sir, my mistress sends me to say hello to you and hopes you will take the plastic bag of meat."

The boy answered, "Thank you, my boy. Give your mistress Dr Swift's thanks for her kindness, and here is two shillings for yourself." The doctor laughed and after that, Swift never forgot to give him his tip.
