2. Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and
starts work immediately.
M oãi ngaøy, chuù kieán nhoû ñeàu ñi laøm raát sôùm vaø

3. He produces a lots and very happy.
Chuù kieán laøm vieäc raát gioûi, vaø luoân vui veû.

4. The Chief, a lion,
was surprised to see that
the ant was working
without supervision.
OÂng chuû cuûa chuù, laø con
sö töû, raát ngac nhieân khi

thaáy chuù kieán laøm vieäc
maø khoâng caàn söï giaùm

5. He thought if the ant can
produce so much without
supervision, wouldn’t she
produce even more if she had
a supervisor!
Con sö töû suy nghó, chuù kieán

6. So he recruited a cockroach
who had extensive
experience as supervisor and
who was famous for writing
excellent reports.

7. The cockroach’s first decision
was to set up a clocking in
attendance system.

8. He also needed a secretary

his reports and …

10. The lion was delighted with the
cockroach's reports
and asked him to produce graphs
to describe production rates and
to analyse trends, so that he
could use them for presentations
at Board‘s meetings.

11. So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a
laser printer and ...

12. ... recruited a fly to manage
the IT department.

13. The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed,
hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings
which used up most of her time…!

14. The lion came to the
conclusion that it was high
time to nominate a person
in charge of the department
where the ant worked.
OÂng chuû sö töû ñi ñeán keát

15. The position was given to the
cicada, whose first decision was to
buy a carpet and an ergonomic
chair for his office.

16. The new person in charge, the cicada,
also needed a computer and a personal
assistant, who he brought from his
previous department, to help him
prepare a Work and Budget Control
Strategic Optimisation Plan …

17. The Department where the ant
works is now a sad place, where
nobody laughs anymore and
everybody has become upset...
Vaê phoøng con kieán laøm vieäc

18. It was at that time that the
cicada convinced the boss ,
the lion, of the absolute
necessity to start a climatic
study of the environment .

19. Having reviewed the
charges for running the
ant’s department , the lion
found out that the
production was much less
than before.

20. So he recruited the owl
, a prestigious and
renowned consultant
to carry out an audit
and suggest solutions.

21. The owl spent three
months in the
department and came
up with an enormous
report , in several
volumes,
that concluded :
“ The department is
overstaffed ...”
Con cuù boû ra 3 thaùng ñeå nghieân cöùu veà vaê phoøng

22. Guess who the lion fires first?
Ñoaùn xem oâng chuû sö töû sa thaûi ai ñaàu tieân?

23. The ant , of course, because he
“showed lack of motivation and had a negative
attitude".
D ó nhieân seõ laø con kieán, vì noù “thieáu ñoäng cô laøm
