A young man with excellent grades wanted to get a job in a big company. He met the manager for the interview. The manager asked, “Who paid for your education?” “My parents,” the young man replied. “Where do they work?” “They work as clothes cleaners.”
Then, the manager asked the young man to show his hands. He found the young man’s hands were so smooth, and asked, “Have you ever helped your parents wash the clothes?” “Never.”
“Now go home and clean your parents’ hands. Then see me tomorrow morning.”
The young man felt upset. When he got home, he asked his parents to let him clean their hands. They felt strange but happy. While the young man was cleaning their hands, he found his parents’ hands were so wrinkled(起皱的), and there were so many bruises(瘀伤) in their hands. His tears fell. After cleaning his parents’ hands, he quietly washed all the rest of clothes.
The next morning, he went to the manager’s office. The manager asked him, “Can you tell me what you did and learned yesterday in your house?” He told the manager all he did with tears in his eyes and added, “Now I know what appreciation(感激) is. Without my parents, I would not be who I am today... By helping my parents, I realize how much they’ve done for me. And I also realize the importance and value of helping one’s family.”
The manager smiled and said, “This is what I’m looking for.”
