In a village there lived a skilled painter whose work was very famous. News of his skills had spread far and wide. One day, a boat owner hired him to paint his boat. The painter happily set to work and painstakingly decorated the boat with new colors.
While working, the painter noticed a small hole in the floor of the boat. He knew that this hole could be very dangerous, especially when the boat was in the water. Without further delay, he took out his repair tools and filled the hole. This job was not included in his contract, but he thought it was important to do. In the evening when he had finished his work, he took his wages from the boatman and set out for home. He did not mention that he had also repaired the hole in the boat, as it seemed to him a small task.

When I came to know this, I suddenly remembered that there was a hole in the boat. My heart beat faster. And I was very worried that something might happen to my children. “I was worried all day, but in the evening when my children came home smiling, my joy knew no bounds. I immediately inspected the boat and saw that the hole had been repaired. That’s when I understood. That you not only painted the boat but also gave me the most precious gift (Protecting my children) of my life.
