A small boy was at a table where his mother was not near to take care of
him, and a lady next to him volunteered her services. "Let me cut your
steak for you," she said; "if I can cut it the way you like it," she
added, with some degree of doubt. "Thank you," the boy responded,
accepting her courtesy; "I shall like it the way you cut it, even if you
do not cut it the way I like it."
