Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his
holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so
expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so
as to make enough money to pay for his studies.
One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher's shop(肉店) during the day-time, and another in a
hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the
serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital , on the other hand, he
was , of course , allowed to do the simplist jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one
part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher's shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white
clothes.
One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to
have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he
came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her.
"No! No!" she cried. "Not my butcher! I won't be operated on by my butcher!" and fainted away
