問題詳情:
On a freezing cold February morning in Indiana, Jhaqueil Reagan,18, left home to walk to a job interview--ten miles away, over snow-covered roads. He was anxious to have a regular paid job after mowing lawns and doing many part-time jobs.
Three hours into his trip, Reagan had covered only three miles. He paused outside a restaurant called Papa Roux to ask for directions from the owner Art Brown, who was clearing ice and snow from the parking lot. "I told him to get on the bus," says Brown. “He thanked me and went on his way."
Fifteen minutes later, Brown pulled up in his car beside Reagan as he walked along. "You've really got to be on the bus," he told Reagan. "I don't have money for the bus," Reagan replied. Brown offered him a lift. On the way, he asked the boy about his job searching. "I thought, this is the kind of kid I want working for me," says Brown. He got the Reagan’s phone number and dropped him off for his interview.
Later that day, Brown wrote about Reagan on Facebook. "It's been a while since I've met someone so young with a work ethic(道德) like that!" A few hours later, Brown called to offer Reagan a job. Shocked, the teen accepted on the spot. Today, Reagan is washing dishes, filling orders, and greeting Papa Roux customers for $8.50 an hour.
A television reporter caught wind of the story and interviewed the pair on camera. The publicity has brought in so many new customers that Brown plans to open a second restaurant by the end of the year. Reagan has earned enough money to move into a new apartment. Now, when the weather is bad, he takes the bus to work. "I like greeting people with a smile on my face," he says.
