一位年长的木匠已经准备好退休。承包商非常遗憾地看着他的好工人离去，于是他问木匠能否再给他建造一座房子，只当作给他个人帮个忙。木匠答应了他。但是，随着时间的推移，很容易发现他的心思不在他的工作上。他凭借低品质的工艺，而且使用低劣的材料。这是一种结束他精心苦干的职业生涯的不幸的方式。
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. The contractor＇i was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy＇ work- manship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.
