Day 6: Orange: Value Of Knowledge

Once upon a time, a ship's engine failed. The owners of the ship tried every expert but none was able to fix the ship. Finally, they called an old man who had been fixing ships since a tender age.

The man arrived with his set of tools and got to work. Scanning the ship from top to bottom, he examined every part carefully.

Proceeding to set it right, he took out a hammer from his toolbox. 

He hammered at a particular part for two minutes after which the engine sprang to life.


The ship owners were happy. Ten days later, they got a bill from the old man for a thousand rupees. Mystified at the large amount, they enquired for an itemized bill to understand the large sum the old man was asking for.

The old man sent back the bill: Rs 100 for hammering 

Rs 900 for knowing where to hammer

The story shows us the value of knowledge.
