A 17-year-old boy who works part-time at Pizza Hut drives up to park in front of the house in a beautiful Porsche.
Naturally, his parents know that thereâs no way he earned enough with his after-school job to buy such a car.
âWhere did you get that car?â his mom and dad screamed in shock.
âI bought it today,â replied the teen calmly.
âWith what money young man?â his mom demands. âWe know how much a Porsche costs and you cannot afford it!â
âWell, itâs used and I got a good dealâ says the boy, âThis one cost me 20 dollars.â
âWho on earth would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?!â
âThe woman up the street,â the boy replies. âI donât know her nameâshe just moved in.
She ordered a pizza and when I delivered it to her, she asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for 20 dollars.â
The boyâs dad and mom hurry over to their new neighborâs house, ready to demand an explanation. Curiously, their new neighbor is calmly planting flowers in her front yard.
âIâm the father of the kid you just sold a sports car to for $20,â the dad says. âI need an explanation from you!â
âWell,â the woman says, not looking up from her garden. âThis morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip in Florida, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesnât intend to come back.â
âWhat on earth does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?â The boyâs mom asks, utterly perplexed.
The new neighbor smiles very big, and pauses for a minute. âWell, my husband asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money.
So I did.
