Ошибка в пользу клиента
An Error in the Customer's Favour
B1 · Intermediate · fiction · 10 scenes · Premium story
An intermediate comedy about a man hired to do the one thing he cannot do. Slava has a history degree, remembers 1242 and 1812 perfectly, and goes blank at seven per cent of forty-three thousand — and at his interview nobody thought to ask. Tills that will not balance, a calculator he nearly takes home, a pensioner who taught maths for forty years, and an audit that finds an error older than his career.
