Story

Improve your vocabulary by discovering the word "quota" through an engaging story - available in both text and audio formats.
Bernie was a curious cat who loved to explore the world around him. One day, he stumbled upon a group of birds who were chattering away. Bernie couldn't understand what they were saying, but he was determined to find out. He sat quietly, listening to them for hours, until finally, he heard a word he recognized - "quota." The birds were discussing their daily quota of seeds and how they could meet their targets. Bernie was fascinated by this concept and decided to set a quota for himself too. He wanted to catch at least four mice every day! The next day, Bernie set out on his mission, but it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. He caught one mouse in the morning, but as the day went on, he struggled to catch any more. Frustrated, he remembered the word "quota" and realized he needed to adjust his goal. Instead of catching four mice, he set a more achievable quota of two per day. With this new target in mind, Bernie was able to catch his prey without feeling overwhelmed. He learned that setting a quota was important, but it was also essential to be realistic and adjust it when necessary. From that day on, Bernie lived a more productive and fulfilled life, catching just the right amount of mice to satisfy his hunger.
