They want him to study something, he always think it difficult and doesn’t listen to them.
One day Robert was walking near a bookshop while some young men were talking about the writers. He heard the publishing house pays the writers a lot. He became interested in it. As soon as he got home, he began to write. But he couldn’t write anything. At last he bought a book and copied a story. Then he posted it to the publishing house. He waited for nearly half a year, but didn’t get any answers. He had to ask an editor on the telephone, “Have you read my story yet, sir?”
“Yes,” said the editor, “I had read it before you were born! ”
