Перевидите понятно текст my mother wanted me to make something of myself and after evaluating my strengths, decided i had better start young if i want to keep up with the competition. but she understood that i had no gumption. my idea of a perfect afternoon was lying in front of the radio rereading my favorite book. seeing me having a good time, she usually said, "you've got no more gumptionthan a bump on a log. get out in the kitchen and help doris do those dirty dishes." my sister doris, though two years younger than i, had enough gumption for a dozen people. she enjoyed washing dishes, making beds, and cleraning the house. when she wasonly seven she could carry a piece of short-weighted cheese back to the a& p and come back with the full quarter-pound we'd paid for. doris could have made something of herself if she hadn't been a girl. in those days the best she could hope for was a career as a nurse or schoolteacher. when i was eight years old i was supposed to sell the saturday evening post, thirty freshly printed copies, every tuesday. tuesday came and i took my magazinesand went to the busiest street. whenit was supper time, i walked back to the house. "how many did you sell? " my mother asked. "none." "what did you do"? "stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a saturday evening post."
