One summer he got a job in a butcher’s shop during the daytime, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learned to cut and sell meat. He did so well that the butcher (肉店老板) often left him to do all the things while the butcher went into a room behind the shop to do the accounts (算账). In the hospital, of course, Dick was told to do only the easiest jobs. He helped to lift people and carry them from one part of the hospital to another.
