A big company wanted a clerk, so John went there. In the interview the director asked him a question.

  “Who paid for your school?”

“My mother paid for it by washing clothes.”

Hearing this, the director asked John to show his hands. John showed a pair of hands that were perfect. The director said,“When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.”

When John went back, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. However, his tears fell as he cleaned his mother’s hands. It was the first time he noticed that there were too many bruises(伤痕) in his mother’s hands.
