　　David Brenner came from a poor family．When he finished his school, he was given a wonderful present．“Some of my friends got new clothes and a few rich boys even got new cars．” he remembered, “My father reached into his trousers pocket and took something out, I held out my hand, and he let my present drop into it——a nickel!”

　　“Dad said to me．Buy a newspaper with that．Read every word of it．Then turn to the classified section and get yourself a job．Get into the world．It’s all yours now!”

　　“I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was in the Army, sitting in a foxhole, and thinking about my family and my life．It was then that I came to know that my friends had got only new cars, or only new clothes．My father has given me the whole world．What a great present!”
