Henry had studied in a university before he came back to his hometown. He thought he had lots of knowledge and he was supercilious (目中無(wú)人的).

At first, he was easily given a job 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 a job in a post office, but he still couldn’t be competent (適任) at it and before long he had to leave. After he had lost the work, his life got worse and worse and he was often 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 asked 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 into 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 milk to her, he found there was a fly in the milk, but he still bring it to the woman. As soon as he left her table, he heard her crying behind.

“What’s in my milk, waiter?” the woman shouted at him.

“Haven’t you seen it’s a fly, madam?” asked Henry.

“It’s terrible!” the woman said angrily.

“Don’t be angry, madam,” Henry said quietly. “It’s too small. It can’t drink much of your milk!”
