His father replied that the next day at noon. Nick was in deep thought for a while and asked, " Dad, how much do you earn in a year?" 

Nick's father replied that it was a big amount and he (Nick) could not able to understand it. " Okay dad, are you happy with the amount you earn?" Nick asked. " Yes my dear, I am very happy and in fact I am planning to launch a new branch and a new business in a few months. Isn't that great?" Dad said. Nick said " Yes dad I am happy to hear that. Can I ask you one more question?" " Yes dear", replied by dad. 

Nick asked again" Dad, can you tell me how much you earn in a day or even half a day?" Nick father replied that why he had asked this types of questions. Nick requested his dad to answer his question. Then Nick's father replied that it would be around $ 25 per hour. After heard that nick ran to his room and came back with $ 50 that he saved in his piggy bank. Nick said to his father," Dad I have $ 50 in my piggy bank. Can you spend two hours with me? I want to go to the beach and have dinner with you tomorrow evening. Can you please mark this in your schedule?" Nick father was speechless.
