An architect was very famous because he always ordered exactly enough materials for
every building he built. He was very popular because he could build buildings at the
lowest possible cost.
After ten years of perfect building, one of his men came to him when they had
finished a 40 story building. “I have bad news,” the man said “because we have one
brick left over!” “Oh no!” the architect exclaimed, “My ten year perfection record is
broken!”
Do you know what he did with the brick?
He threw it away!
