Tony’s request The author’s feeling Results “I mow your lawn.” Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? ... he had graduated as a skilled grinder. ... My wife and I felt it was a satisfying end of the story. “When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory.” I doubted whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprints and micrometers or do precision work. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix. “I want to be ’prentice.” I went into my house unhappy ... but how could I turn away a person who had come to me for help? I asked the personnel department for a report. They said Tony was a very good worker.
