Question

One summer he went to visit Moscow. T   here he heard the workers were paid much less than those in his countries. And most factories couldn’t work because they were short of money. He thought he would save much money if he invested in a factory there. The     Russians knew it and warmly met him and he was invited to visit a modem factory. He went to the workplaces,watched carefully how the machines worked. The workers worked hard when he went in.

    Soon it was time to have lunch. Mr Brown went in the dining-room. Meat,eggs,milk and bread could be bought there. It seemed that they weren’t short of anything. Mr Brown came up to an old worker and sat down next to him.

    “Are you satisfied with your life,sir?” asked Mr Brown.

    “Of course,” the worker answered and went on drinking.

    “What do you have now?”

    “I live in a beautiful villa,” answered the man. “I have a new fridge,a new color television and I drive a new car to my factory. ”
