| Both of them worked hard. | Ambos trabalharam duro. |
| Three years had passed and the company's director promoted one of them. | Três anos se passaram e o diretor da empresa promoveu um deles. |
| Stew became sales executive. | Stew tornou-se executivo de vendas. |
| Jim did not get any promotion and remained in the sales department. | Jim não recebeu nenhuma promoção e permaneceu no departamento de vendas. |
| Jim decided that it was unfair, so he came to his boss and told him, that he didn't appreciate a hard-working staff. | Jim decidiu que era injusto, então procurou seu chefe e lhe disse que ele não valorizava uma equipe que trabalhava duro. |
| The boss knew that Jim worked hard, and to show the difference between him and Stew, he asked: | O chefe sabia que Jim trabalhava duro e, para mostrar a diferença entre ele e Stew, ele perguntou: |
| "Go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market". | "Vá e encontre alguém que venda melancias no mercado". |
| When Jim returned, the boss asked: | Quando Jim voltou, o chefe perguntou: |
| "How much per kg?" | "Quanto por kg?" |
| So Jim went back to the market and then returned to say the price: $12 per kg. | Então, Jim voltou ao mercado e voltou para dizer o preço: US$ 12 por kg. |
| Then the boss asked Stew to do the same thing. | Então o chefe pediu a Stew para fazer a mesma coisa. |
| Stew went to the market, and when he returned he told: | Stew foi ao mercado e, quando voltou, disse: |
| "At the moment there is one person selling watermelons, $12 per kg, $100 for 10 kg. Now he has 340 watermelons in stock. On the table there are 48 watermelons, each of them weighs about 15 kg. Watermelons were bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and good quality". | "No momento, há uma pessoa vendendo melancias, US$ 12 por kg, US$ 100 por 10 kg. Agora ele tem 340 melancias em estoque. Sobre a mesa, existem 48 melancias, cada uma pesando cerca de 15 kg. As melancias foram compradas do sul há dois dias, elas são frescas e de boa qualidade ". |
| Jim was impressed by the difference between him and Stew. | Jim ficou impressionado com a diferença entre ele e Stew. |
| He realized that he needed to learn a lot from his friend. | Percebeu então que precisava aprender muito com o amigo. |
