The Man then realizes that after teaching George everything for so long he forgot to teach him about nothing! He says that zero alone means nothing but when added to smaller numbers makes them bigger. The Man then sends George off to get the donuts with a paper that has an order of 1 Dozen Donuts. But George does not know about a dozen and changes the order to 100 dozen donuts. But after seeing just how many donuts 100 dozen make he tries to do anything to get away with only 1 dozen.
