Easy, I prefer $100.000, because of my genetics, but I have an altruist friend that would prefer $50.000 ... So give me these $50.000 also and I will give him...

I have found some words that I had to translate with help. I put them here, asking you (all) for their meaning.

"...that is, when they have a chore, shopping, to complete and are impatient to get it over with."

"Scientists have actually experimented with other primates, training them to “buy” food with pebbles"

"The refusal doesn’t cost me much, because the profit offered was meager to begin with."

chore -> faena, tarea.
pebbles -> guijarro, piedrecita.
meager -> mínimo, exiguo.
