In this story Dick was looking for a job that paid well. He was going on a boat and he wasn't looking for anything, but it just landed in his lap. A boy was drowning and Dick jumped in to save him. Dick thought nothing of it, he could swim so he saved the boy. So when he brought the boy back to his father the man later rewarded with a job as a clerk. He wasn't looking for advancement, he was just helping out someone. Life rewards a person for helping out other people. I also think the story could be saying that once a person stops looking for something they will find it.
