若干年前，我曾與一位黑人簽訂份合同。當時，那黑人一上來就要簽訂十年的合同，我告訴那黑人，合同最多簽五年。由於那黑人的生意是新建的生意，儘管他吹噓自己有生意上的經驗，我還是強烈建議黑人先只簽一年的合同，一年後，如果生意進展順利，再續簽五年的合同。可是，那黑人不聽，堅持要五年的合同，為了這份合同，甚至與我談判從下午2點直至夜晚10點，簡直是按8小時工作制進行的，把合同里的每個字和每句話都談個遍，到了吹毛求疵的地步。 合同簽完，黑人開始了他的生意。 但是，他的生意始終慘澹。 沒過幾個月，黑人找到我，要求提前接除合同，說他爸死了，他爸就是他的天，他的生意無法再進行下去了。 為了能讓我同意提前解除合同，黑人給我下跪，用下跪懇求。黑人這一跪讓我感到被動，周圍人來人往的，都看見了，黑人給華人下跪，讓人感覺華人是種族主義者，影響不好。我沒別的選擇了，同意解除了合同。 黑人又怕我反悔，所以，有了下面的這兩封信，信中都有下跪一詞，以祈求我的仁慈不變。
