He thought that he must be dreaming, then he closed his eyes. But it wasn’t a dream. It’s was real. He was fired from his company. He wanted to know why he was fired. So, he went to his employer. And then, Tom protested to hid employer. But nothing was changed. So, he had to find a new job.

He was disappointed. He walked on the street for many hours. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound! This sound was terrible and Tom was afraid. He decided to hide himself behind a tree. He looked around and paid a attention “What happened?” Then, Tom saw all his friends, his boss and his colleagues. They all stood in front of him. Then, his girlfriend, Jeanne, said that “Happy birthday, Tom. Because of you always work and no play. Do you remember a proverb “All work and no play make “Tom” a dull boy?” So we make a trick for celebrating your birthday.”

Finally, Tom figured out that he was not fired. Besides, he learned a lesson that he had to work and play in order to enjoy his life and have a better life style.
