Written by White Feather


Continued from page 1

Setting my satchel down I slowly placedrepparttar carpet sweeper onrepparttar 127118 carpet and began sweeping overrepparttar 127119 crumbs. I passed overrepparttar 127120 crumbs time and again but to my horrorrepparttar 127121 sweeper was only picking up a small amount ofrepparttar 127122 crumbs. I continued to sweep overrepparttar 127123 crumbs butrepparttar 127124 crumbs were still there onrepparttar 127125 carpet. "Uh, I'm sorry...uh, but, uh, this thing doesn't seem to be working very well," I stammered as I continued sweeping, now a little more furiously.

Her demeanor didn't change, "Okay. I buy."

Instead of being thrilled I suddenly felt awful. I couldn't sell this woman something that didn't work. "You don't really want to buy this, do you? See, it really doesn't even work very well."

"Okay. I buy."

I swept furiously some more but then stopped. "In good conscience I don't think I can sell it to you. Look at all those crumbs still onrepparttar 127126 floor."

"Okay. I buy." Before I knew what was happeningrepparttar 127127 woman grabbedrepparttar 127128 carpet sweeper out of my hand and took it with her to a table onrepparttar 127129 other side ofrepparttar 127130 room. Setting it down, she rifled through her purse sitting uponrepparttar 127131 table. Quickly, she came up withrepparttar 127132 incredible introductory price and, leavingrepparttar 127133 sweeper byrepparttar 127134 table, she broughtrepparttar 127135 money over to where I was standing, "I buy."

With my jaw dropped and a look of perplexed stupidity on my face, I took her money. I didn't know what to say.

She apparently sensed my confusion and commenced to explain, "Five minute ago I am on floor on knees cleaning up mess. I think to myself, 'Boy I wish I had carpet sweeper like on TV.' The next second doorbell ring and I open door. You stand there with carpet sweeper in hand. How can I not buy?!"

With my jaw still dropped she walked me back torepparttar 127136 front door, saying, "Thank you. Come again." Withrepparttar 127137 front door closed behind me, I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out what just happened. I was still too young and ignorant way back then to fully appreciaterepparttar 127138 beauty ofrepparttar 127139 moment.

That wasrepparttar 127140 last house I went to. I went straight to my car and drove to my boss's house and turned in my satchel, quittingrepparttar 127141 job. I didn't make much money at that job. I was quiterepparttar 127142 failure. It would take me some time to realize, however, that everything I needed to learn from that job I learned in that one house call torepparttar 127143 Korean woman.
