Peter’s job was driving a taxi downtown. He made a small salary. But he liked his job because it wasn’t dull. Every day, he saw new things that appealed to him. Peter was practical about the future. “Maybe I can get a scholarship to college,” he thought. “I could learn mathematical formulas and get a job at a bank. I could help clients invest their money.” Peter stopped to pick up a passenger. “Where to?” he asked. “Go to the Fourth Street Bank. And don’t talk to me. I’ve had a rough day,” the man said. Peter was angry, but he had a peaceful philosophy. When they stopped, the man’s fare came to £10.25.

He put his hands in his pockets. “ I can’t find my wallet!” he said. “I can’t pay the fare!” Peter said, “Maybe I’ll give you a temporary loan. You can borrow ten pounds and twenty five pence from me.” The man was embarrassed, saying, “ I was mean to you, but now I want to help you. I founded this bank. I want to give you one thousand pounds.” That much money was like a treasure to Peter. The man urged him to take the money, but he didn’t. “You’re an honest person,” the man said. “I assumed you would take it. I want you to work for me.” The next day, Peter started his job at the bank. He was happy to be done with his former job.
