David Brenner came from a poor family. When he finished his school, he was given a wonderful
present. "Some of my friends got new clothes and a few rich boys even got new cars. "he remembered,
"My father reached into his trousers pocket and took something out, I held out my hand, and he let my
present drop into it —— a nickel!"
"Dad said to me, Buy a newspaper with that. Read every word of it. Then turn to the classified section
and get yourself a job. Get into the world. It’s all yours now!"
"I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was
in the Army, sitting in a foxhole, and thinking about my family and my life. It was then that I came to know
that my friends had got only new cars, or only new clothes. My father has given me the whole world.
What a great present!"
