A box boy at a supermarket was hard work. People came to the counter(柜台) and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. I had worked as a box boy in a supermarket in central Los Angles for ten months when I was seventeen.
While working, I wear a plate(标牌) with my name on it. One day I met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr. Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great that he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember me at all. He just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.
The manager often shouted orders. One of these was: You couldn’t accept tips(小费). Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应) is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.” They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you mean being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hands and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.” When you say “I’m sorry, I can’t”, they feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say“I really can’t.”. It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person to prevent him from tipping you. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady in fact put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive. I guess I had money and could afford to hate it and give it up.

The date was like any other day in his life. After school David walked past the shop on the street corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He really wanted to have a new pair for his birthday.
He sadly walked away and thought of how to tell his mother. He knew she would give him anything if she could. But he also knew very well she had little money. He decided not to go home at once, as he looked worried and he didn’t want to make his mother worry about it. So he went to the park and there he sat on the grass. Then he saw a girl in a wheel chair. He found that the girl moved the wheels with her hands. David looked at her carefully and was surprised to see that the girl had no feet. He looked down at his own feet. “It is much better to be without shoes than without feet.” It was not right for him to feel so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was luckier in life.
