It was Friday afternoon in the office of Babbit Cars, Los Angeles. Charlie
Babbit was shouting on the phone. “But I have waited five weeks for these cars!
Where are they?”
On another phone, Charlie’s secretary, Susanna, was talking to a customer. The
customer wanted six Lamborghini cars and he wanted them that day. Then a call
came from the bank. Susanna put her hand over the phone. “They want you to pay
back the money you borrowed, - she said. - They want it this afternoon”.
“Tell them I’ll pay on Monday”, - said Charlie. Then he spoke into his own
phone. “You can have the cars on Monday, sir…Yes, I’m sure… Thank you, sir!”
Charlie put the phone down and smiled for the first time in a week. Monday.
And this was only Friday! He had the weekend to think of something to save his
business…
