PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

A Little boy went to a telephone
booth which was at the cash
counter of a store and dialed a
number. The store-owner
observed and listened to the
conversation:

Boy: “Lady, can you give me the
job of cutting your lawn?”

Woman: (at the other end of the
phone line) “I already have
someone to cut my lawn.”

Boy: “Lady, I will cut your lawn for
half the price than the person
who cuts your lawn now.”

Woman: “I’m very satisfied with
the person who is presently
cutting the lawn.”

Boy: (with more perseverance)
“Lady, I’ll even sweep the floor
and the stairs of your house for
free.”

Woman: “No, thank you.”
With a smile on his face, the little
boy dropped the phone.

The store-owner, who was listening
to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store-owner: “Son….I like your
attitude; I like that positive spirit
and would like to offer you a job.”

Boy: “No thanks.”

Store-owner: “But you were really
pleading for one.”

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!”
