The reporter was talking to
them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really
important?” the
reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few
moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to
the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really
important.”
The reporter then turned to
the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White
House. You‘d only be
important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from
the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the
third man. “Do you think
so?”
“No, I don‘t,” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President
important.”
“Then what would make the visitor
important?” the
reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the
President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘It’s for you.‘ ”
