"My Trouble Tree"
The carpenter I hired to
help me restore an Old Farmhouse
had just finished a rough first day on the job.
A flat tire made him lose an hour of work,
his electric saw quit, and now his ancient
pickup truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony
silence. On arriving, he invited me
in to meet his family. As we walked toward
the front door, he paused briefly at a
small tree, touching the tips of the branches
with both hands.
After opening the door, he underwent an
amazing transformation. His tanned face
was wreathed in smiles and hugged his two
small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward, he walked me to my car. We
passed the tree, and my curiosity go 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 for sure, troubles don't
belong in the house with my wife and the
children. So I just hang them up on the tree
every night when I come home. Then in the
morning, I pick them up again."
"Funny thing is, he smiled, when I come out
in the morning to pick them up, there aren't
nearly as many as I remember hanging
up the night before."
