爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
But one day, after he had finished cleaning the window, and the baker was busy in the rear of the store, a customer came in, and Edward ventured to wait on her. Dexterously he wrapped up for another the fragrant currant-buns for which his young soul--and stomach--so hungered! The baker watched him, saw how quickly and smilingly he served the customer, and offered Edward an extra dollar per week if he would come in afternoons and sell behind the counter. He immediately entered into the bargain with the understanding that, in addition to his salary of a dollar and a half per week, he should each afternoon carry home from the good things unsold a moderate something as a present to his mother. The baker agreed, and Edward promised to come each afternoon except Saturday.

白话
有一天，爱德华擦完窗户，面包师正在店后忙，一位顾客进来，他壮着胆子去接待。他麻利地包好顾客要的葡萄干小圆面包——那正是他馋得流口水的东西。面包师看在眼里，见他手脚快、笑脸迎人，就提出每周多给一美元，让他下午来柜台卖货。爱德华马上答应，还提了个条件：除了每周一块半的工钱，每天下午要把卖剩的好东西带一点回家给母亲。面包师同意了，爱德华承诺除周六外每天下午都来。

这是爱德华·博克少年时在面包店打工的经历，出自他的自传。当时移民家庭的孩子常早早做工补贴家用。
