Once upon a time, a wealthy old man lived alone in a big house. He was growing weaker day by day and was unable to take care of himself, so he decided to hire (雇傭) a nurse to help with housework and take care of him.

One day, the old man interviewed two nurses—Anthony and Peter. Anthony happened to be a handsome young man, while Peter looked quite ordinary (普通的). The old man asked Anthony to make tea for him. After Anthony left, the old man turned to Peter and said,

"Anthony has given me a very bad account (描述) of you. He said you are rude and untrustworthy. Is this correct?"

Peter thought for a minute and said, "If Anthony has a bad opinion of me, there must be something wrong with me. I should take some time to change these things."

The old man was very impressed by Peter's character. Meanwhile, Anthony returned with a cup of tea for the old man. The old man sent Peter to make breakfast for him. He then turned to Anthony and told him, "Peter spoke very poorly of you while you were gone. What do you think about this?" After hearing this, Anthony became angry and started cursing (咒罵).

In the end, the old man hired Peter. Although Peter looked quite ordinary, he had impressive inner (內(nèi)在的) beauty.
