Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Alix: Hi, Andy! I heard you were working here! Andy: Summer job. Phil: That's great. Andy: GREAT? I wash dishes, empty garbage and clean bathrooms. Phil: But it's all about the money, right? Andy: It's certainly not about the FUN. Phil: I had a fast food job once. It convinced me to apply to the police academy. Wally: And me to college. Wally: To this day the smell of a mop makes me want to study something. Andy: Point taken. Alix: You missed a spot.
