What's Bill's story?

Since childhood, Bill has often followed his mother to Mr. Hyde's candy store. This is a lovely shop, and there are many sweets available for 1 cent.

Every time my mother and I walk into this candy store, we will see many tempting delicacies in front of me. It's really nerve-racking for Bill to choose one of them. For each kind of sugar, imagine what it tastes like, decide whether to buy it or not, and then you can consider the second one. Bill always felt a twinge of regret when Mr. Hyde put the selected sugar into a small white paper bag. Maybe another kind of sugar is better? Still more resistant to eating "see if there is anything delicious to buy." Mother said this almost every time, leading Bill to the long glass cabinet, and the old man came out from behind the curtain at the same time. Mother stood and talked to him for a few minutes, while Bill stared at the candy displayed in front of him.

Bill didn't know what money was at that time. He just watched his mother give something to others, and that person gave her a paper bag or a paper bag. Slowly, Bill also had the idea of trading in his mind.

On this day, 6-year-old Bill had an idea. He walked into the shop alone with his mother on his back and walked to the glass cabinet where candy was displayed.

This side is mints, giving off the fragrance of fresh mint. That's fudge over there Big and soft, chewy, sprinkled with shiny sugar. Another plate is filled with soft chocolate candy made into small figures. The box in the back is full of large pieces of hard candy ... Bill chose many kinds of candy that must be delicious to remember. Mr. Hyde leaned over and asked him, "Do you have the money to buy so many?"

"Oh, yes," Bill replied. "I have a lot of money." He reached out his fist and put five or six cherry stones wrapped in shiny tin foil in Mr. Hyde's hand.

Mr. Hyde stood staring at his palm for a while, and then looked at Bill for a long time.

"Isn't it enough?" Bill asked anxiously.

"I think you gave me too much." Mr. Hyde replied, "There is still money for you." He approached the old cash register, opened the drawer, then leaned against the counter and put two cents on Bill's outstretched palm.

Today, many years later, Bill will still think of those tempting sweets and Mr. Hyde's words and deeds at that time.

Now, Mr. Hyde is a big boss with eight chain stores. Because he is childlike, he thinks what others think, and his business is getting better and better.
