Fixing. ..

A man was asked to paint a boat.

He painted the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him.!

While painting, he realized there was a hole in the hull and decided to repair it.

After finishing the painting, he received his payment and left.!

The next day, the owner of the boat came to meet the painter and presented him a Cheque with huge amount !!

The painter got surprised:
- You've already paid me for painting the boat!
- he said.
- But this is not for the  painting !
It's for having repaired the hole in the boat.
- Ah! But it was such a small service ... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant!

My dear friend, you do not understand.
Let me tell you what happened.

When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole.

When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip.

They did not know that there was a hole.
I was not at home at that time. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I remembered that the boat had a hole.

Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing
Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! You see, now, what you did?

You saved the life of my children! I do not have enough money to pay your "small" good deed.

So, no matter who, when or how. Just continue to help, sustain, wipe tears, listen attentively and carefully repair all the "leaks" you find, because you never know when one is in need of us and important to someone.

And I'm sure ,  You might have repaired numerous "boat holes" along your way , without realizing how many lives you've saved.!
