John and Bobby joined the same company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. Several years later, however, the boss promoted(提拔) Bobby to manager but John was still an ordinary（普通的）worker. John could not take it, and gave his resignation（辞职书） to the boss. He complained that the boss did not think much of those who were hard -working, but promoted only those who flattered（奉承）him.
The boss knew that John had worked very hard for the years. He thought for a moment and said, “Thank you for what you said, but I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave.”
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 a man selling watermelons.

Hearing what Bobby said, John realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided to stay and learn from Bobby.
