History. "The plumber was afraid that I would take away the coven" - And how would you do

It was the height of the construction season, applications came one after another, as if it had burst through. Formed queue for a week, the season feeds the craftsmen, and in the winter one little things. And then the mother asks to change the meter, bought, broughtand I say a little patience, there will be a window soon, I will change.

Surprise

I scattered the applications, took consumables and went to my mother. In the yard there is a branch from the main pipe, there is a meter, and next to it there is a bag with a tool plumber, as in the village they call plumber. I put mine next to my mother, because I promised, why didn't you wait?

So you are busy and I I wanted to surprise you, you will come, everything is ready, we will sit and talk, we will have tea. So I called a local specialist, it's inconvenient, now to refuse.

Who will do?

And then the local plumber came up, saw my instrument, it was standing, scratching the back of my head, I realized that the shabashka was breaking off. I go up, he asks:

- Will you do it yourself?
- And how much do you take for work? - I answer a question with a question.
He calls the amount much less than what it costs in my village.

- Do it! - I pick up my bag and go to my mother to drink tea. He has relief on his face, it is clear that I have already tuned in to this earnings.

Why did you do this?

I realized that if suddenly the mother has problems with water, a rush there, she will not refuse, he did it himself, especially since he is here on the spot. Yes, and it is useless for a person to interrupt work.
