I decided my father to disassemble the foundation of the old house remaining on the site. And since age has not allowed himself to do this, he hired a brigade of Tajiks. And I came to visit somehow and saw that employees somehow do not burn with the desire to engage in serious physical labor. Their brigadier - a man of the age of fifty lazily dropped a sledgehammer foundation, and the rest taught the stones on the trash.
- Dad, and what do you have any worry workers? You do not pay them, or what? - I turned to dad.
- Why not cry? I cry, of course. They receive money for the amount of work, and not during the time.
- Well, it would be more active, you look, and finished quickly. What time is pulling, incomprehensible ...
- Son, well, since you are so smart, then go and do it yourself.
- Well, I'll go! - I broke up.
I grabbed the second sledgehammer and began to dare to beat the foundation. In about twenty minutes, I managed to split the same amount of stone as the ancient Tajik.
- Here, dad, look, you can work faster! - I said my father, saving from his forehead.
- Well, I see, I see ... And what are you rushed something?
- Now we will rest a little and continue.
I sat down, I moved a little, again began to pitch the concrete sledgehammer. This time my forces were enough for ten minutes, and the material of the material grew quite imperceptibly. In this time, the old Tajik on the other side of the foundation is still measured by his sledgehammer. I stayed for some time and again for a sledgehammer. For the whole day I was able to fulfill the same volume of work as the brigadier of Tajiks.
In the evening I was sitting on a bench and could not move, my hands did not work at all, and the back was not inflicted. And the old brigadier-Tajik removed all his tools, helped the rest to do with the container bags with garbage, changed in clean clothes and, having mastered, went to prepare on all dinner.
I now remember this old wise Tajik every time I have to do some heavy or monotonous work.
