My brother,Bob,has a very good job at a bank.Last week,to my surprise,he told me that he had decided to give it up.I tried hard to make him change his mind,but Bob wouldn’t listen to me.Here is the dialogue between us.
--You should think it over.You’ve already spent five years there and you might become a bank manager by the time you’re thirty.
--I know.I’m satisfied with the bank.It’s a nice job at a nice place.
--Then why do you want to leave?
--It’s the money.
--But you are well paid.

--But why?
--I enjoy counting my own money,but I hate counting other people’s.
