6. Mr. Bath is the president of Make-A-Bath Industries, a small company that employs fifteen workers, including Tom Miller, father of six. Ever since the economy went down the tubes,
Make-A-Bath hasn't been selling bath tubs like they once did, and now Mr. Bath has to fire
three workers, one of whom will be Tom Miller. But Mr. Bath has never fired anyone before, so
he has been delaying giving Tom and the other employees the bad news. But Christmas is
approaching. Tom wants to buy nice gifts for his six children, but he doesn't have any money.
So Tom charges a whole bunch of nice gifts on his credit card, figuring that he can pay it back
with money from his checks that he will be getting from his job all year. Tom and his family
don't have a lot of extra money to spend, so he likes to get his kids nice Christmas presents.
Tom is looking forward to one of the best Christmases ever.
