A la primavera, l'incubadora d'startups de Barcelona bullia d'activitat.

Entre ells, destacaven Carles i Berta.

Però aleshores va descobrir quelcom que li va fer mal.

Era Sant Jordi, una de les seves festes preferides.

"Vull compartir amb vosaltres el meu treball sobre la reducció de residus", va començar, amb veu ferma.

De sobte, va fer una pausa i va mirar Carles, tranquil però determinat.

"Lamentablement, algú aquí ha presentat les meves idees com si fossin seves", va dir, mostrant les proves a la pantalla.

"Unfortunately, someone here has presented my ideas as if they were their own," she said, showing the evidence on screen.

El silenci va omplir la sala mentre Carles es quedava blanc davant els ulls sorpresos dels inversors.

Silence filled the room as Carles turned pale in front of the surprised investors.

Després de la petita tempesta, l'opinió majoritària es va inclinar pel costat de la justícia.
