因此，不管电台经理之前怎么说，莱斯每天还是会去电台，这样持续了一周。他的坚持很能打动人，电台经理终于让了步，让他做一些小事情——不过没有报酬。莱斯负责给大家提供咖啡和吃的东西。他在工作中尽力满足大家的每一个要求，而且只要有需要，任何时候都可以加班。最后，他的工作热情赢得了大家的信任，他们让莱斯开着凯迪拉克去接送名人，居然不知道他连驾照都没有。
While hanging out with the station's real DJs, Les taught himself their posture and hand movements on the control panel. He stayed around the studio, soaking up whatever knowledge he could. He was disciplined; back in his bedroom at night, he faithfully practiced in anticipation of the opportunity he knew would come.
与电台真正的DJ 相处时，莱斯自学他们操作调音台的姿势和手势。他徘徊在播音间，力所能及地汲取全部知识。他非常自律，晚上一回到房间，就满怀着期待不懈地练习，他知道机遇终会降临。
One afternoon at work, the DJ named Rock started to feel very sick while on the air. Les was the only person around, and he realized that Rock was coughing and losing his voice. Les stayed close in case there was some way he might help alleviate his coworker's distress. He also worried that the illness was sure to doom this broadcast.
一天下午，工作期间，一个名叫洛克的DJ 在直播时突然病得厉害。周围只有莱斯，而他意识到洛克正在咳嗽，都快不能说话了。莱斯凑近他，看看有什么办法能帮助同事减轻痛苦。他也担心这病肯定会让广播无法进行下去。
Finally, when the phone rang, Les grabbed it. It was the station manager, as he knew it would be.
最后，电话铃响了，莱斯抓起电话。正是电台经理，对此他已有预感。
"Les, this is Mr. Klein. I don't think Rock can finish his program,
“莱斯，我是克莱因。我觉得洛克没办法做完这期节目了。”
"Yes," he murmured, "I know."
“是的，”他低声说，“我知道。”
"Would you call one of the other deejays to come in and take over?"
“你能打电话叫其他DJ 来接替他吗？”
"Yes, sir, I sure will."
“好的，先生，我一定去叫。”
But try as he might, none of the regular DJs were available. MC Cormick and DJ Slick were both out of town for the weekend and DJ Neil was also feeling sick. It seemed that the radio station was in big trouble.
但他找了个遍，却发现一个正式DJ 都找不到。主持人考密克和DJ 斯雷克都出城度周末去了，尼尔身体也不舒服。似乎电台的麻烦大了。
Frantic with distress, Les called the general manager. "Mr. Klein, I can't find nobody," Les said.
莱斯无计可施，几欲抓狂，只好给总经理打电话。“克莱因先生，一个人都找不到，”莱斯说。
Mr. Klein then asked, "Young man, do you know how to work the controls in the studio?"
克莱因先生于是问道：“小伙子，你知道怎么操作播音间里的调音台么？”
"Yes sir," replied Les, grinning with the sudden opportunity. He didn't even blink before he called his mother and his friends. "You all go out on the front porch and turn up the radio because I'm about to come on the air!" he said.
