However, the next day, the owner of the boat came and gave the man some money which was much more than the painting’s payment.
The man didn’t know why and said, “You’ve already paid me for painting the boat!”
“But this isn’t for the paint job. It is for repairing the hole in the boat.”
“It’s such a small thing. Certainly you needn’t pay me so much for something unimportant!” said the man.
The owner said, “My dear friend, when I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to tell you about the hole. When the paint of the boat dried, my children got together to go on a trip in the boat. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was worried because I remembered that the boat had a hole. You can’t imagine my happiness when I saw them walking out of the boat with a basket of fish. Then I checked the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! You saved my children’s lives!”
No matter who you are, just help and carefully repair the “holes” you find. It is because you never know when one is in need of you.
