After walking into the cafeteria, they sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take their orders. Of course nobody did.

Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sad down opposite them. The woman smiled at them and told George how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much money you have to pay.”

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather nodded and said. “ Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success. But you’ll get nothing if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”
