Betting and challenges are not uncommon, but sometimes
they can be quite unusual. Such was the case with a
musician who was challenged by a mason to do his job of
repairing a leaking roof. The mason had asked for an
exorbitant wage, and after much haggling, he threw the
challenge to the musician, saying that he couldn't do
the job.
The musician, who was known for being tough,
accepted the challenge and worked tirelessly for three
days, to the amazement of his neighbors. He removed and
replaced the tiles with a professional touch and applied
cement and mortar to keep them in place.
In the end, the
mason admitted his defeat and became a staunch admirer
of the musician, who had shown that he could do anything
once he made up his mind.
