(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, you know who it is, Mr.Wong here, It's Friday! Let's get right to it: Little Joe always gets teased about being dumb. One of the favorite jokes is that the kids offer him a nickel and a dime to see which one he chooses. Stupidly, he always chooses the nickel and off the kids go laughing. 

One day, a kindly neighbor couldn't watch it anymore and says, “Joe, my boy, a dime is worth more than a nickel!” “I know,” smiles Joe, “but if I keep picking the nickel, they won’t stop the joke and I already got 15 dollars this way.” Haha looks like Joe is not dumb after all. Alright, let's talk about the phrase of the day which is "hard-earned", check it out!
