I want a job !


 A little boy went to a Telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a shop & dialed a number. The Shop owner listened to the conversation: 
Boy: "Madam, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Voice at other end (VOE): "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy: "Madam, I will cut your lawn for half the salary you pay to the person who cuts your lawn now.”
VOE: “I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy: (persistently) "Madam, I'll even sweep the floor & the stairs of your house for free.” 
VOE: “No, thank you.”

With a smile on his face, the boy ended the call with a “thank you”. 

The shop owner, who was listening to all this called the boy and told :
 "Son...I like your attitude; I  would like to offer you a job."
 Boy: "No sir, thanks”

Shop owner: “But you were really pleading for a job”
Boy: No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. 
I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"
