The ship’s engine had broken down and was powerless in the face of the repair challenge.
They called in an experienced mechanic, a seventy-year-old, who carefully inspected the engine multiple times.
Without much hesitation, he took a hammer and precisely struck a specific area of the engine.
With the master’s magical touch, the engine came back to life.
However, when the ship owner received a bill of 10,000 euros, he was extremely dissatisfied.
He decided to confront the mechanic and ask for a detailed explanation for such a high sum.
The mechanic responded calmly: „Hammering with a hammer – 2 euros, knowing where to hammer – 9,998 euros.“
At that moment, the owner realized that the expertise was priceless, and the mechanic’s skills were crucial in solving the problem.
