Several summers ago, Joe Smith, the coach of a football team, and his family were spending their holiday in a small town. One rainy afternoon, it was impossible for them to go out to do anything interesting, so the family decided to go to the cinema. Joe, his wife and their children drove down to the town’s cinema, bought tickets and went into the hall. The lights were still on, and there were just six other people there. As Joe entered, some of them saw him and started clapping.

Joe gave them a smile and turned to his wife, “Aha, I can’t believe they know me and I’m getting a warm welcome here,” he said. “ I guess they saw my games on TV.”

They sat down and then a young man came back and reached out his hand to shake hands with Joe. “I just can’t believe you know who I am.” Joe said. The man looked puzzled. “All I know,” replied the man, “is that they would not show the film until at least ten people had bought tickets.”
