This story follows a man named Simon who starts his first office job at age 30.
Nervous about making a good impression, Simon decides to wear a full suit and tie.
The Teacher's Book provides lesson plans for several other narrative-driven sections:
He arrives early and begins working, but as his colleagues trickle in, he realizes no one else is wearing a suit.
Throughout the day, people keep coming to him with computer problems. Eventually, his boss explains why: because he was the only one in a suit, everyone assumed he was from the IT department. The Moral: Simon never wears that suit to work again. Other Notable Stories in the Series
