John Duncan started work on Monday, and Mary Carter showed him round the factory. The most important thing that the company produced was anew paint for cars. It was a very strong, hard paint, which nothing could damage. Mary and her chemists had developed it, and they had tested it all over the world. Neither acid nor salt water could damage it, and cars came back from both the arctic and the Sahara looking like new. The company was beginning to make a lot of money from this paint, and it had brought four hundred new jobs to the town. One day, when he was working with the paint, John spilt some of the waste products on his leg. He cleaned it off quickly, but it left a red, painful place on his skin, which would not go away. it kept him awake at night. He told his doctor what he had spilt on it, and the doctor looked at him strangrly. So these chemicals had something to do with the new paint, did they? the doctor asked carefully. Yes , i told you. it was a bottle of the waste products. i was looking at them in my office. I see. the doctor looked out of the window
