There was a note of ____ in his voice.“Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？” I had not been aware of that, as my entrance had been ____. “Come with me，” said the boy，excitedly. I followed him to the back part of the shop, and he began to haul down from the shelves box after box，____ their contents for my enjoyment.
“Hold on, young man, I am going to buy only one pair！”“I know that，” said he，“but I want you to see ___ beautiful these are. Aren"t they wonderful？” ____ was on his face an expression of solemn and holy pleasure，____ he were revealing to me mysteries of his religion. I became far ____ interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in amazement. “My friend，” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not ____ the enthusiasm that comes from novelty, from having a new job, if you can keep up this enthusiasm and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every ____ in the United States.”
My amazement ____ his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article. In many shops the ____ has to wait for someone to wait upon him. And when ____ some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him. Whether he is ____ in deep thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is chatting with a girl clerk, you feel like ____ for “being too rude”．
He displays no interest either in you or the goods he ____ to sell. Yet possibly that very clerk who is now so apathetic began his career with hope and ____.
