Holly Ridge Happenings
A man was asked to paint a boat.
He brought his paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red as the owner had asked him. While painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull and quietly repaired it. When he finished painting, he received his money and left.
The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a nice check, much larger than the payment for painting.
The painter said “You’ve already paid me for painting the boat, sir.”
“But this is not for the paint job. It’s for repairing the hole in the boat.”
