The young man said to the mayor, "Mayor, you gave me so much delicious food. What can I do for you?" Jackson smiled and said, "I give you food not to seek any return, I just want to provide some help. There's nothing you need to do." But the young man didn't seem to appreciate it: "No, sir. If there's nothing for me to do, I won't accept your food. Really, I must do something for you!" With no other ideas, Jackson had to kneel down and let the young man massage his back. Later, the young man was hired, and Jackson even married his daughter to him. Twenty years later, this young man became the world's oil magnate, and his name was Hammer.
