    Two council workers were employed in the city's public works department.
    One would dig a hole and the other would be following behind filling it up. They worked on one side of the street and then down the other, and then moved on to the next street, working all day without rest.
    An onlooker was amazed at their hard work and efforts but couldn't work out what they were doing. He approached them and said "I'm very impressed with all your hard work, but I don't get why you are digging a hole then filling it up again?"
    The hole digger wiped his brow and said. "Well, I suppose it does look a bit odd but we're normally a three person team but today the man that plants the trees called in sick."
