“I have only a very small amount left. It will take me some time to find out how to make more.

“I will pay you anything you ask,” Wayde said.

“Don’t give me anything now, but promise to pay me $10,000 when you become Prime Minister（首相）.”

Wayde laughed. “That’s impossible,” he said. “I shall never become Prime Minister.”

“Who knows.” Manningtree said. “Give me a week, and I’ll see what I can do.”

A week passed. Then, Manningtree came to visit Wayde again. He brought with him a small bottle.

“I cannot find out how to make more of this medicine,” he said, “But you can have what’s left I don’ t need it anymore.”

“That’s very generous of you.” Wayde said. “How can I ever thank you?”

“Just take one small drop of the medicine once a month.” Manningtree said.

Wayde took the bottle from his friend. Once a month. he took one small drop.

The effect（效果）was immediate. Suddenly, he was not nervous anymore. He was not shy anymore, either. He was confident of his abilities.

One day, he went to see Manningtree.

“You have come to give me $10,000,” Manningtree said with a laugh. “Forget it. I don’t want it.”

“You can certainly have it if you want it.” Wayde said. “But that is not the reason I have come to see you.”

“Oh? And what is the reason?” Manningtree asked.

“I have almost finished the medicine you gave me,” Wayde said. “Have you found out how to make it?”

Again Manningtree laughed. “Oh, yes,” he said. “I have known how to make it for a long time I knew how to make it when I was at school.”

“What do you mean?” Wayde asked.

“My dear friend and Prime Minister”, Manningtree said, “The medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”

“But the colour.”

“Oh, I added some coloring.”

“Then, the medicine did me no good,” Wayde said.

“It didn’t need to. There was nothing wrong with you. All you needed was to have confidence in yourself.”
