A space centre is a place where studies are conducted about outer space of the earth The scientists were involved in developing rockets which was a very daring task. They had to dedicate all there time to their profession. But they never thought of leaving their job, in spite of the hardship they faced.

One day, one of the scientists working there came to his boss and requested him to allow him to leave the office at 5.30 pm in the evening. He had promised his children to take them to – an exhibition in the town, that day. His boss agreed, the scientist was happy and began to work enthusiastically and never even bothered to look at his watch. When he had completed his work he found that it was 8.30 pm in the evening.

As his boss had already left, he left for home. He remembered his promise to his children and felt sad for disappointing them. He also did not know how he could pacify his wife.
