The narrator says that he would feel like a "frog in the well" if he spoke to someone else. He compares this to a pond, which is wider than a river, but narrower than a stream. He says that the world is much smaller than the pond, and that there is no "real frog" in the pond. The narrator asks the teacher if he is taking him around when all his employees have left the company. The teacher says that everyone has "knocked off" the company, and the company is different from many other companies. The higher ups, managers, and employees are all in the same office. They work alone, but if there is a "related secret meeting" or a "special guest," they would be working in the office. The company handles a lot of secrets, but the "secrecy is low" . The rich guy asks if he was tired when he took over, and he says he didn't realize that he could be tired. He would like to do a "workload worth three days in one" , but he doesn't have the time to think about it. He tells the rich guy that it would be great if he were there to share some of his burdens with him, but that he can't because he's too busy with his own business. He asks if the car is in trouble, and when the teacher says it is, he says it's a "bomb" that's been leaking fuel.
