Quota

Once upon a time, there was a curious cat named Bernie who loved to explore new places. One day, he stumbled upon a small village where the locals were busy fishing. Bernie watched in awe as the fishermen caught fish after fish, filling their boats in no time. Curious, Bernie approached one of the fishermen and asked how they managed to catch so many fish. The fisherman replied, "We have a daily quota to meet, and we work hard to exceed it every day." Bernie was puzzled by the word "quota" and asked the fisherman what it meant. The fisherman explained that a quota is a target or goal that must be met within a certain period of time. As Bernie continued to explore the village, he noticed that the word "quota" was used everywhere, from the fish market to the local school. The teachers had set a quota for the number of books the students had to read each month, and the shopkeepers had a quota for the amount of goods they had to sell. At the end of the day, Bernie realized that having a quota was a great way to motivate oneself to work harder and achieve more. From that day on, Bernie set his own daily quota of catching at least three mice a day, and he worked hard to exceed it every day.
