Dick was a clever boy but his parents were poor so he had to work in his spare time 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 holidays he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to earn enough money to pay for his studies
One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher s shop during the daytime and another in a hospital at night in the shop he learnt to cut meat up quite nicely so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went into a room behind the shop to do the accounts in the hospital on the other hand he was of course allowed to do only simple jobs like helping to lift people and at the hospital Dick had to wear white clothes
One evening at the hospital Dick had to help to carry a woman feom 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 Dick that finished her
No no she cried not my butcher I won’t be operated on by my butcher’ and fainted away
