This is a true story that I would like to share with you.

One day, a woman brought her crying son to a private park. An old man was cleaning the park.

The woman was using tissues to wipe her son’s tears. She threw the used tissues onto the floor, glancing at the old man once.

The old man went to pick it up, but when he cleaned again, the woman threw another tissue on the floor. The old man went to pick it up again, which happened six or seven more times.

Suddenly, the woman told her son, “If you don’t study hard, you will end up like him.”

The old man replied, “Madam, are you an office member? Only members are allowed to enter this private garden.”

The woman told him she was an office member, so the man called someone on his phone to confirm.

Then, an important office executive came to the private garden and asked her to leave. The woman was shocked and asked why the executive was listening to the cleaner.

The cleaner replied, “I am the boss of the office. You must learn to respect others no matter what their job is.”

The story teaches us to be polite to everyone, no matter who they are.
