一个名叫格兰特的人曾在他房子的顶层发现了一箱旧文件.他把其中的大部分都烧掉了.他非常不喜欢旧东西.但这一次,他保留了一封信,在信的末尾是一个著名作家的名字.
“写这封信的时候,”格兰特说道,“没有人知道这个作家.但是现在,人人都在读他的作品.有的人喜欢买这样的信件,如果我能把这封信卖给合适的买家,或许我就能赚到一大笔钱.”
但是信纸上有许多污渍,格兰特不喜欢这样.
“它看起来令人不舒服,”格兰特心想,“没有人愿意买一封脏兮兮的信,我得先把它洗干净.”
于是他找来一块毛巾,用水小心翼翼地擦洗起来.当他洗完的时候,这信看起来就跟新的一样了.格兰特对自己的工作感到非常高兴.
他带着信来到专门买卖这种旧文件的商店里.“我想卖这封信,”格兰特对店员说,“它是由一个著名的作家写的.这些事你知道的.你打算用多少钱来买它?”店员拿着信看了许久.
“就两英镑!”格兰特叫到,“买这样的一封信,你应该支付更多的.你要不再看看?我已经洗过了,所以它才看起来那么干净.”
"我看到了,”店员说到,“这正是麻烦所在.那些买旧文件的人就喜欢它们是脏兮兮的!”
