PROBLEM OF GREEDINESS!!!

There was this guy who got a job in the ministry as a receptionist. His salary was  one hundred thousand naira. (N100,000) He was very happy on receiving his first salary and he took it to his father who was a retiree. When the father saw his son's salary, he was not very pleased. He said to him, 'my son you deserved more than this as your salary. First, you are a graduate,
Secondly, this is an oil company. Even cleaners don't receive N100,000 in an oil company let alone you a graduate. Now let me teach you the techniques that the ordinary company's employees used to become richer than the company itself. What you will do is just to continue to be adding zeros to the figures of your salary. You can add as much zeros as you wish". And so, the second month, they were asked to calculate the days they worked and give the amount to the cashier to pay them. And so this guy took to his father's advice and he added fifty zeros to the one hundred thousand naira. Everybody was paid but he was not paid and so he complained to the management. And the cashier told him that the company doesn't have up to the money he wrote as his salary hence he was not paid. The cashier further told him that even if all the money in the world should be added together, it cannot amount to the money he wrote. And  he asked the cashier on what to do to get his salary and the cashier told him to reduce from the figures. And so he decided to reduce. But again, he a very silly mistake by starting the reduction from the left hand side thereby removing the one and many other zeros. At the end, this was what was left and he took it to the cashier. N000,000. But yet again, he was not paid. And he complained to the cashier once again. The cashier told him that the company has just placed an order for a computer which can converts the  N000,000 to reality and he has to wait for a while because computers manufacturers just told them that they will build the computer in a hundred years time.
