One day, Tom was walking on the street. He was lost. He did not know where to find things in the city. So he asked a man for the way to the nearest post office.

“ Oh, dear,” said the man, “ don’t you know that all post offices are closed today? It is Saturday.”

“Really?”

At that time, another man was walking down the street with a beautiful woman. Tom asked the woman if all post offices were closed on Saturday. “ No,” she answered. “ Go along and turn left, then you can see one on your right. And it takes you five minutes to walk there.”

Last year when Tom graduated from school, he came to Taibei. He didn't like to work on his father's farm and hoped to find a job in a big city. He went from one company to another but no one wanted him. With little money left, he got to the station, sad and tired. All he wanted to do was go back to his small town. It was very late at night and the station was full of people. They were waiting to buy tickets of the last train. He bought the last ticket, and he was very happy.

At that time, a woman with a crying baby walked to him and asked him to sell her the ticket. He gave her the ticket because he thought they needed it more than he did. After the train left, he sat on the bench and didn't know where to go. Suddenly, an old man came and said, "Young man, I have seen what you did to the woman. I am the owner of a big company. I need a good young man like you. Would you like to work for me?
