A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy,how much money do you make an hour?”

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,”the little boy replied,with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said,“Daddy,could you lend me $10?”

The father was furious,“If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish,then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish（自私的）!”
