The employee went to his master and said:

 - A gentleman! Why would you pay me five cents, and Ivan always five rubles?

Gentleman looks out the window and says:
 - I see someone coming. It seems to be taking us past the hay. Come on, look.
Released worker. Came over and said:
 - Is it true, sir. Like hay.
 - And you do not know where? Maybe with Semenovskoe meadows?
 - I do not know.
 - Go and find out. Went worker. Reenters.
 - A gentleman! Similarly, with Semenovskoe.
 - And you do not know the first or second hay mowing?
 - I do not know.
 - So go, find out!
Released worker. Back again.
 - A gentleman! First mowing!
 - And you do not know for what?
 - I do not know.
 - So go, to find out.
I went. Came back and said:
 - A gentleman! Five rubles.
 - And do not give cheaper?
 - I do not know.
At this point, Ivan enters and says:
 - A gentleman! Carried by hay meadows with Semenovskoe first mowing. Asked 5 rubles. Bargained for 3 rubles per cart. I drove them into the yard, and they're discharged.

Master accesses the first employee and says:
 - Now do you understand why you pay 5 cents, and Ivan 5 rubles?
