23、Henry had studied in a university before he came back to his hometown.  He thought he had lots of knowledge and was supercilious(自大的).

At first he was easily given a piece of work in a bank. But he couldn't get on well with his workmates and often made mistakes. And soon he was sent away. Then he found work in a post office, but he still couldn't be competent at (胜任)it and before long he had to leave. After he lost the work, his life got worse and worse and he was of-ten worried about food and clothes. When he hardly asked for some food in the street, a friend of his aunt's felt pity for him and told him to work in his restaurant. Of course he didn't like the work at all but it was much better than being hungry. He had to work there.

One day a young beautiful woman came in the restaurant. She wanted two eggs, some chicken and a glass of milk. Henry thought she wore beautiful clothes but didn't have much knowledge. When he was taking the things to her, he found there was a fly in the milk, but he didn't bring it out. As soon as he left her table, he heard her crying behind.

"What's in my milk, boy?" the woman shouted at him.

"Haven't you seen it's a fly, madam?" asked Henry.

"It's terrible!" the woman said angrily.
