Summary

Plot: There was a poor man named Mario who was fired from his job. He lost his job because of one single apple. He has a wife named Gloria who was worried. He also has a daughter named Tito. His wife asked why he was fired for stealing an apple. He told her he found a new job, but he didn’t say he was working with Pablo.

Conflict: One day, Mario sat on a bench and buried his hands on his face. His wife came to him and asked what was wrong. He said that he lost his job by stealing one apple. His wife asked why he lost his job by stealing one, single apple. He answered by saying that the company he works for was waiting for him to make a mistake.
