A man came back home from work late, he was tired And he was surprised to find his ten-year-old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?" "If you want to know, I make $20 an hour." "Oh,"the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?" The father was furious, "If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish !" The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think, "Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often."So he went to the little boy’s room. "Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now," said the man. "Here’s $10." "Oh, thank you, Daddy!"the boy said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again. "Why do you want more money after you already have some?" the father shouted angrily. "Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do," the little boy answered, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." 小题1:How much does the man make if he works an hour?
