The Heirs Martin, Paul, and Tom were brothers. They were very different, but they were consistent about two things. They couldn't succeed in business, and they never agreed about anything. Martin was a hardworking farmer, growing organic vegetables and raising poultry. But he was disorganized and forgot to pay his bills. Paul owned a textile factory that produced clothes. He was organized, but he was greedy and used too much for his own clothing. His wardrobe was filled with his own products. Tom was once a sergeant in the army. He ran a martial arts school, but his stance on discipline was too strong. He had almost no students. One day, they received a telegraph saying that their father had died. They were heirs to his old farm. They planned to sell it as soon as possible, so they went to see it even though there was a terrible storm. The house didn't look great, but there was a lot of land. There was so much, in fact, that they could barely see its boundary. Suddenly, the storm got worse. The sheer force of the wind almost knocked them over. Martin said, "Look, it's a typhoon!" Paul said, "NO, it's a cyclane." Tom said, "No, it's a tornado!" They argued until Paul began to wail and said, "Whatever it is, it's coming right at us! We're doomed!" The three brothers scrambled inside the old house. Martin said, "If we survive, we must stop fighting. This farm could be great if we fixed it up. With my hard work, Paul's organization and Tom's discipline we could run a great business together!" The storm finally ended. And luckily, it didn't wreck the farm. "Just think," Martin said, "It took the chaos of a typhoon to bring us together." Paul replied, "You mean a cycling brought us together!" Tom said, "Didn't I tell you both that it was a tornado?" The brothers never agreed on what kind of storm it was, but by combining their skills, they started a successful farm.

继承者马丁、保罗和汤姆是兄弟。 他们非常不同，但他们在两件事上是一致的。 他们在生意上不可能成功，他们对任何事情都意见不一。 马丁是一个勤劳的农民，种植有机蔬菜和饲养家禽。 但他做事杂乱无章，忘了付账单。 保罗拥有一家生产服装的纺织厂。 他很有条理，但他很贪婪，花太多钱买自己的衣服。 他的衣橱里堆满了自己的产品。 汤姆曾经是一名军士。 他开办了一所武术学校，但他对纪律的立场过于强硬。 他几乎没有学生。 一天，他们收到一封电报，说他们的父亲去世了。 他们是他旧农场的继承人。 他们打算尽快卖掉它，所以尽管有一场可怕的风暴，他们还是去看了它。 房子看起来不太好，但有很多土地。 事实上，他们几乎看不见它的边界。 突然，暴风雨变得更猛烈了。 巨大的风力几乎把他们吹倒。 马丁说：“看，这是台风！”保罗说：“不，这是飓风。” 汤姆说：“不，这是龙卷风！”他们辩论，直吵到保罗哭号说，无论是什么，是向我们来了。我们注定!”三兄弟爬进了老房子。 马丁说：“如果我们生存下去，我们必须停止战斗。 如果我们把这个农场整修一下，它会很棒的。 有了我的努力、保罗的组织和汤姆的自律，我们可以一起经营一家伟大的企业！”暴风雨终于结束了。 幸运的是，它没有破坏农场。 “想想看，”马丁说，“是台风的混乱让我们走到了一起。” 保罗回答说：“你是说骑自行车让我们走到了一起！”汤姆说：“我不是告诉过你们俩那是龙卷风吗？”兄弟俩从来没有就风暴的类型达成一致，但通过结合他们的技能，他们开始了一个成功的农场。
