Wisdom IV

Three workmen were hard at it. Bright sun.
Warm day. Brick, mortar, heavy work!

"What are you doing?" asked the passerby.

"Laying brick," said the first, a smudge of annoyance in his voice. After all, wasn't it obvious? Why should anyone have to ask?

"Making a wall," answered the second. He too a little bothered at the query.

"Building a cathedral," replied the third with a note of satisfaction and pride.
