Thomas Wheeler, CEO (首席执行官) of a company, and his wife were driving along a highway
when he noticed that their car was low on gas. Wheeler got off at the next exit and soon found a rundown (破旧) gas station with just one gas pump. He asked the lone attendant (服务人员) to fill the tank and
check the oil, and then went for a little walk around the station to relax his legs.
As he was returning to the car, he noticed that the attendant and his wife were talking excitedly. The
conversation stopped as he paid the attendant. But as he was getting back into the car, he saw the
attendant wave and hear him say, "It was great talking to you."
As they drove out of the station, Wheeler asked his wife if she knew the man. She readily admitted
and she did. They had gone to high school together and had dated steadily for about a year.
"Boy, were you lucky that I came along," bragged (自夸) Wheeler. "If you had married him, you'd be
the wife of a gas station attendant instead of the wife of a CEO."
"My dear," replied his wife, "if I had married him, he'd be the CEO and you'd be the gas station
attendant."
