Troubles
The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just
finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose
an hour of work, his electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup
truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he
invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front
door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the
branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an
amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and
he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward, he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my
curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen
him do earlier.
"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help
having troubles on the job, but one thing for sure, troubles don't
belong in the house with my wife and children. So I just hang them
up on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I
pick them up again."
Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick
em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the
night before".
