  Tom was a poor boy. He made a living by cleaning shoes for others in the street. Tom was also a clever boy. One day a very rich man, Mr Miser, came to Tom. He watched his dirty shoes for a moment, and then looked at Tom. Tom knew this kind of people well: they love money very much and don't want to spend it.

  Tom said, “Let me clean your shoes, sir.”

  “For nothing?”, the rich man asked.

  “Only two pence, sir.”

  Mr Miser shook his head and then walked away.

  Tom thought for a second and then called out, “I'd like to clean it for nothing!” This time Mr Miser agreed. And soon one of his shoes was shining brightly.

  When the rich man put his other shoe down, Tom said he wouldn't clean it for him unless he was paid two pence for his work. Mr Miser was very angry. He refused to pay anything and went away, with a smile on his face.

  But his well-cleaned shoe was so bright that it made the other look worse. Mr Miser took a look around. The people in the street were laughing at him. He couldn't walk any farther. Then the rich man had to return and give Tom two pence. In a very short time his two shoes shone brightly.
