    Harry thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job.” I am the best salesman in the world,” he said to the manager, “Give me the job.”

“You must prove (*) you’re the best,” the manager said.

    “OK, I will!” Harry answered.

    “Good!” The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk.” Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job,” said the manager.

    “That’s easy.” Harry said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.
