waters,it will come back hundred-fold.But there is one story,in particular,that,for me,illustrates,the point.To this day it can still,move me to tears.,3,On a crisp spring day in 1942,Max Freed,the owner of Hercules Manufacturing,a shirt-making company in Winnipeg,Canada,was returning to his factory with a bundle of orders tucked neatly beneath his arm.Business was good and Max,although only 30,was,carving out a niche,as a successful businessman.,While-Reading Task,4,As he walked to his office,he noticed a young man across the street,on his hands and knees,scrubbing the front steps of Churchills,a clothing wholesaler.The boy looked familiar.Freed crossed the street and asked him,“What are you doing here?”,5,The 20-year-old answered:“I work for Churchills.My boss told me to scrub these steps.”,6,“What is your name?”asked Freed.The young man told him.,7,“Is your father my butcher?”Yes,the youth replied.,While-Reading Task,8,Freed went to his office and called the butcher.“I just saw your son washing the steps at the firm across the street from mine.He seems like an intelligent young man.,Is that the kind of work hes chosen to do?”,9,“My son wants to go back to

a year and a half at the University of Manitoba,his money had,run out,.Business was poor,and even though the butchers wife worked two jobs,the family barely,scraped by,.The boys weekly nine-dollar salary,helped out,tremendously.,While-Reading Task,10,“Tell your son to come see me tomorrow,”Freed told the butcher.,11,The next night,after finishing his work as a delivery boy and cleaner at

man straight in the eye.“Ill,put you through university,.,Write down,how much money you need and bring it back to me tuition,books,everything.”,15,A smile broadened across the boys face;he could not

want something for yourself?Dont you eat lunch or get the occasional haircut?Youll need some new clothes.Add all that in.”,17,Before,handing over,a cheque,Freed told the young man,“There are several conditions I,insist upon,.”,18,The boy sat silently,eyes wide with expectation.,19,“First,you must tell no-one where this money came from.”The boy nodded.“Second,you must maintain top grades;Im not sending you to university to be a playboy.,While-Reading Task,20,“Third,this is a loan.You have to,pay me back,every cent when you can afford to.And lastly,you must promise to do this for someone else in your lifetime.”“Thank you,Mr.Freed,”said the 20-year-old.“I wont disappoint you.”,21,Each month he visited Freed to report on his progress.At the University of Manitoba,he earned high grades,was near the top of his class and was elected president of the student body.,22,Over three years,Max Freed lent the butchers son$900.The young graduate began repaying the debt as soon as he,landed,his first job after university.He sent Freed$100 the first year,$100 the next and the rest the third year after he graduated.,While-Reading Task,23,Throughout his life,he never forgot the day hed been given the opportunity he needed to succeed.He also remembered,the vow hed made,to do the same for someone else and has since helped several young people through higher study.,24,There was one,promise,the boy made to Max Freed that he could not keep.For nearly 30 years,he told no-one the identity of his mysterious benefactor.But he finally decided to tell his story because he felt it would inspire others to help someone,and because he felt that Max Freed,deserved,the,recognition,despite,wanting to be anonymous.,While-Reading Task,While-Reading Task,25,I often tell this story.It
