- There is a little girl swimming on the page. Do you think she saw the shark's fin before she jumped in the water from the boat?
- An American businessperson was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisher docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tunas. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, that it only took a little while. The American then asked why he did not stay out longer and catch more fish. The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.
- Why do you think that? How can you tell she jumped in the water from the boat?
- In 1920, a group of people known as colonists traveled to America by boat, known as the Mayflower. They arrived during winter with little to no food. There were no grocery stores and the people had to grow their own food and hunt. Only half of the people lived through the dangerous winter.
- The American scoffed. "I am a Wharton MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats. Eventually, you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA, and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."
