2. One day, one of the scientists came to his boss and
asked, “Sir, I have promised to take my children to the
exhibition in town today. Will you please allow me to leave
the office at half past five in the evening?” His boss replied,
“All right, you’re permitted to leave the office early today”.
The scientist was happy and started working. He was so
busy working that he never even bothered to look at his
watch. After the day’s work was completed, he looked at
the watch and it was half past eight in the evening. He
looked for his boss. The boss was not there. As he had
told the boss in the morning itself, he closed everything
and left for home.
3. On the way home, he remembered the promise he
had made to his children. He felt sad for disappointing
them. He wondered how he would calm his wife.
