There are two the same young man working together in a shop, with the same salaries.

But the man named Arnold was promoted quickly, and the man named Bruno was in the same position all the time.

Bruno was very unsatisfied with the unfair treatment of the boss. One day he told to the boss what he thought. The boss was very patient with his complaints and thought how to explain the differences between Arnold and Bruno clearly.

“Mr. Bruno,” the boss said, “please go to the market this morning, and see what are selling there.”

Bruno came back from the market and reported to the boss, there was only a farmer to sell a truck of potatoes in the market this morning.

“How many potatoes?” the boss asked.

Bruno hurried to wear his cap and ran to the market. And then he came back to tell the boss that there were forty bags of potatoes.

How about the price? Bruno ran to the market the third time and asked for the price.

“Ok,” the boss said to him, “now you can sit down on this chair without saying any words. And see how others do this work.”

Arnold came back from the market in a short while and reported that: from now on there was only a farmer to sell potatoes. Forty bags of potatoes together with the price clearly; the quality of the potatoes was very good and he brought one to show to the boss. And the farmer would sell several boxes of tomatoes an hour later, the price would be normal as he regarded. The tomatoes in their shop were sold out more or less yesterday. There was nearly no stock. So he thought the boss must buy in some tomatoes for the low price, he not only brought a tomato for sample, and also brought the farmer here. The farmer was waiting for news outside theRS Goldshop.

At this time the boss turned to Bruno and said: “now you must know why his salary is higher than yours.”
