A Motivational Story with Wisdom-

The Trouble Tree

by Author Unknown


The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farm house had just
finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire had caused him to
miss an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient
pick-up truck refused to start.


As
I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. When we arrived he invited
me in to meet his family. As we walked to 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; he hugged his two small
children and gave his wife a kiss.


Afterward
he walked me to the car. We passed by 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's for sure, they don't belong in the
house with my wife and children. So, I just hang them on the tree when
I come home in the evening and then I just pick them up again in the
morning."


"Funny
thing, though," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em
up, there ain't nearly as many as I remembered hanging there the night
before."
