Monday，Tuesday，Wednesday went by，and Thursday afternoon the boss went to the young man and said， "You can get the pay on your way out today."
The young man was very surprised.He replied， "I thought you would pay on Friday.""Usually we do，"the boss said. "But we're letting you go today because you've fallen behind.Our daily felling reports show that you've dropped from first place on Monday to last place today."
"But I'm quite hardworking，"the young man argued，"I am the first to arrive，and the last to leave，and even work during my coffee breaks!"
