RationalitySynopsis
A boss of an office invites to the lain table his wife, his daughters and some of the employees. One of the subordinates takes also his son along for whom he would like to get a position as a junior secretary. He incessantly reminds to the fifteen years old boy to laugh at the bosses' jokes and to look at the boss with respect. The boss bullies the old man who used to be his superior before. Now the old man fears he might loose his job and therefore he follows gladly an order to play a tragedy and he recites pathetically Shakespeare's Othello. The party's participants laugh at him slavishly but in a while they follow another order and they begin running around the table and crowing as cocks.
