To the great joy of the students, the Master announced that for his birthday he would like a new shirt. We bought the best fabric. The village tailor came, took the measurements and promised to finish it in seven days with God’s help.
A week has passed. An apprentice was sent to the tailor: The master asks where is his new shirt?
“I didn’t have time to finish it,” answered the tailor, “but with God’s help I’ll finish it tomorrow.”
The next day it happened again:
- I'm sorry, it's not ready yet. Come tomorrow - if the Lord wills, I will certainly finish it.
The next day the Master said:
—Ask him how long it will take him if he works alone, without the help of the Lord.
