Question

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

"Daddy，may I ask you a question?"

" Yeah，sure，what is it?" replied the man.

"Daddy，how much do you make an hour?" "If you must know，I make $20 an hour. " "Oh，" The little boy replied，with his head down. Looking up，he said, "Daddy，may I please borrow$10?"

The father was angry, "If the only reason you ask is that you can borrow some money to buy a useless toy，then you，to bed. "

The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down. He started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the little boy's room and opened the door.

" Are you asleep，son?" he asked.

"No, Daddy，" replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. " said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for. "

The little boy sat straight up，smiling. "Oh , thank you，Daddy. "he said happily. Then，reaching under his pillow(枕頭)he took some money. The man，seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money，then looked up at his father.

" Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father asked.

"Because I didn't have enough，but now I do，" the little boy replied, "Daddy, I have $20 now.

Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. "
