TARIQ'S DAY AT WORK
Tariq works as a manager in a furniture store.
Asim, his boss, is not happy about sales. Tariq's new
advertising campaign hasn't helped. Asim
decides to fire him.
Asim: Tariq, I hate to break the news, but our sales were
down
again last month.
Tariq: Down again, Asim?
Asim: Yeah. These days, everybody's shopping at our
competition,
Honest Abe's Furniture Store.
Tariq: But everything in there costs an arm and a leg!
Asim: That's true. They do charge top dollar.
Tariq: And their salespeople are very strange. They really
give
me the creeps!
Asim: Well, they must be doing something right over there.
Meanwhile, we're about to go belly-up.
Tariq: I'm sorry to hear that. I thought my new advertising
campaign would save the day.
Asim: Let's face it: your advertising campaign was a real
flop.
Tariq: Well then I'll go back to the drawing board.
Asim: It's too late for that. You're fired!
Tariq: What? You're giving me the ax?
Asim: Yes. I've already found a new manager. She's as sharp
as a tack.
Tariq: Can't we even talk this over? After all, I've been
working here for 10 years!
Asim: There's no point in arguing, Tariq. I've already made
up
my mind.
Tariq: Oh well, at least I won't have to put up with your
nonsense
anymore! Good-bye to you and good-bye to this
dead-end job.
Asim: Please leave before I lose my temper!
