      Back in the day, some places had laws against begging. A poor person would buy a dozen pencils for a nickel and ‘sell’ them to passersby.

      Mr. Bigshot is treating the beggar like a young MBA looking for an important job.

      Here’s my guess.

      Guy is poor, just needs money, and is desperatly attempting to get a job as a pencil salesman. This is a job it’s hard to be passionate about. My boy now needs to convince this richo boss dude that he’s passionate about pencils to get this job

      Otherwise I’m lost too. If cows made tools they’d be pretty useless you know
