A man heard that a certain government wanted a clerk, so wrote and asked for the position. But while he was waiting for an answer, a friend of his introduced him to the head of the department, who gave him the job. Several months later, while the man was working in the department, he got a letter that had been sent to him from the place he used to live in. This letter said, "Dear sir, We are sorry to have to tell you that we cannot offer work in this department because we do not think that you would be able to do the work successfully. Your faithfully." The man laughed, but when he looked at the letter more carefully, he saw that he had signed it himself. What do you think of the man?
He was too careless. He was very honest. He was very clever. He was rather stupid.
