Larry started his first day at the Leader, a busy newspaper office in New York.
Larry empezó su primer día en la redacción del Leader, un importante periódico de Nueva York.
His job was simple but important: when an editor shouted “Copy!”, Larry had to carry the pages to a pneumatic tube.
Su trabajo era sencillo pero importante: cuando un editor gritaba «¡Texto!», Larry tenía que recoger las páginas y llevarlas al tubo neumático.
The tube sent the pages upstairs to the printers, and at first Larry was afraid he would make a mistake.
El tubo enviaba las páginas arriba, a los impresores, y al principio Larry tenía miedo de cometer algún error.
Another office boy, Peter, was not happy about the new worker and warned Larry not to work so fast.
A otro chico de los recados, Peter, no le gustaba el nuevo trabajador. Incluso le dijo a Larry que no trabajara tan rápido.
Near the end of the day, the editor gave Larry an important story written on yellow paper.
Cerca del final del día, el editor le dio a Larry un artículo importante escrito en papel amarillo.
On the way to the tube, Peter stopped him and said, “I’m going there too. Give it to me, and I’ll send it.”
De camino al tubo, Peter lo detuvo: «Yo también voy allí. Dame el artículo y yo lo envío».
Larry trusted him and returned to the office, but when the newspaper was printed, the yellow story was missing.
Larry confió en él y volvió a la redacción, pero cuando imprimieron el periódico, el artículo amarillo no estaba allí.
The editor asked what happened. Peter denied taking it, so they went to the tube room and asked another boy.
El editor preguntó qué había pasado. Peter dijo que no había tomado nada, así que fueron a la sala del tubo y preguntaron a otro chico.
The boy remembered seeing Peter with the yellow pages. Then the editor opened Peter’s coat, and the missing story fell to the floor.
El chico recordó que había visto a Peter con las páginas amarillas. El editor abrió el abrigo de Peter y el artículo cayó al suelo.
Peter lost his job, while Larry learned an important lesson: when someone gives you a task, finish it yourself.
Peter perdió su trabajo y Larry aprendió algo importante: si te dan una tarea, es mejor terminarla tú mismo.
