A forman was assigned three new workers; two big strong local men, and a
little guy from Japan. Because of their size, the foreman gave the two
locals the digging work, and told the Japanese man "You'll be in charge of

broken and that the Japanese man in charge of supplies, had disappeared.

the little guy. Just when they were about to give up the search, the
Japanese guy jumps up from behind a rock and yells "Supplies!!"
