【推荐1】One day a woman was walking down the street when she saw a beggar sitting on the corner. As he sat there, passers-by walked by him giving him dirty looks. But when she saw him, the woman was willing to help him.

She stopped and looked down, asking him whether he was all right. The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly used to the finer things of life. She looked like that she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before. “Leave me alone,” he said angrily.

To his surprise, the woman continued standing and smiled. “Are you hungry?” she asked.

"No," he answered. "I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away."

The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm. "What are you doing, lady?" the man asked angrily. "I said to leave me alone." However, the woman insisted on getting him something to eat in the restaurant across the street. She even asked a passer-by to help grab his other arm and lift him up. Finally, Jack was taken into the restaurant. The woman explained to the manager that she would buy him something to eat.

"Not in here!" the manager replied angrily. "Having a person like that here is bad for business."

Old Jack smiled. "See, lady. I told you so. Can I leave now?"

The woman turned to the manager and smiled. "Sir, are you familiar with E&A, the banking firm down the street?"

"Of course I am," the manager answered impatiently. "They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms."

"And do you make a good profit from that?"

"It’s none of your business."

"I am Penelope Eddy, CEO of the company."
