ply certain amount of crushed stone.
The machine he used could turn out oil
the work he could get by running eight
hours day.
The mean man had an engineer who
was q genius. The genius went to his
employer one day and said he thought
he could make some improvements in
that machine so it would do more work
In less time. The genius was paid by
the month.
He worked on the machine for sever
al days. taking it apart and putting it
together again. When reconstructed.
1t proved to have greater efficiency
than before. so much so that 1t did the
same amount of work in one minute
and half that 1t used to take four
and half to do.
The mean man, however. could get
10 more contracts than before. He
could fill all his orders by running
about three hours day. The mean
man then went to the genius and said:
See here. Henry. I've been paying
you by the month. but there isn't as
much work as there used to be-not
enough to keep you busy. shall have
to pay you by the hour after this"
