John and Bobby joined a wholesale (批发的) company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss chose Bobby to be the manager but John remained a worker.

John couldn’t understand it anymore. He wrote a resignation (辞职信) to the boss and complained that the boss didn’t know who worked harder and better.

The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, “Thank you for your criticism (批评), but I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation letter.”

John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelons. The boss asked the price. John didn’t know and went back to the market to ask and returned to tell the boss 1.2 dollars per kilogram.

Then the boss called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. Bobby went, returned and said to the boss, “Only one person sells watermelons, 1.2 dollars per kilogram, 10 dollars for 10 kg. He has 340 watermelons. Every melon weighs about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago, and they are fresh and red.”

John was very surprised and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign (辞职) but to learn from Bobby.

What is cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying includes：

What can you do?

If someone is not kind to you, tell an adult that you know and like. For example, talk to a parent or a teacher.

If you get bad messages, don’t reply. You should save them and give them to your teacher, your family, or the police. Ask an adult for help. Don’t share something before you make sure it is true. That will help stop the cyberbullying.

Talk to your parents or teacher or an adult if you see bullying or if you are worried about a friend.

Say sorry if you are not kind to someone. You can write a message or talk to the person. And always remember: think about how to be kind in the future.
