10.( ) The lady
was pleased with the bus company.
( C )
A boy who was cleaning shoes in
the street said to a young man passing by, "Let me clean your shoes."
The young man said, "No, thank you." "You may pay me only a
pound, sir." said the boy. But the young man refused again.
Then the boy told him that he
would clean his shoes for nothing. The young man agreed to this, and soon one
of his shoes was shining brightly. The man put the other shoe on the boy, but
the boy refused to clean it unless he was paid two pounds for his work. The
young man refused to pay anything and went away.
But the dirty one looked so bad
that he couldn't walk away. He had to turn back and gave the boy two pounds. In
a very short time his shoes shone brightly. (140)
