10 . Sam was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself to find a better-paying job.
Except for Sundays, Sam hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with a better life. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them.
The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Sam passed with an impressive performance! Soon after, he was offered a better job which paid handsomely. Sam could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and a vacation abroad. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. To make himself a worthy candidate for the promotion, he registered another course in an open university. Sam’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Delightedly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough. It would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a larger apartment.
Sam resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see him much of the time, Sometimes Sam had to work on Sundays entertaining clients. As expected, Sam’s hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful apartment with amazing scenery overlooking the coast.
From then on, he was able to devote more time to his family. It was time for him to enjoy the fruits of his labor finally.
