Once upon a time, there were three contractors and the time came for them to go out and give their bids to the world.
Just before they left, their mother told them “Whatever you do, do it the best, because that’s the way to get along in the world.”
The first contractor gave a bid to build a house made out of sticks and it was really cheap. It was the easiest thing to do. The homeowner was really happy and signed the contract.
The second contractor gave a bid to build a house made out of straw. It was a little bit better quality than sticks. The second homeowner was pleased and signed the contract.
The third contractor gave a bid to build a house made out of bricks. The third homeowner was concerned about spending more money, but decided to sign the contract anyway.
After the projects were complete, a rain storm came along one night. It washed away the house of sticks. The first contractor went out of business. The homeowners were left out in the rain.
Then the storm came to the house of straw and blew it away. The second contractor was no where to be found. The homeowners were devastated.
The house of bricks stood solid during the rain storm and the homeowners relaxed by the fireplace. The next day, the third contractor came over to check on the homeowners and the house to make sure everything was ok. The homeowners were very happy.
That evening, the third contractor invited his mother over for dinner. She said, “You see, it is just as I told you. The way to get along in this world is to do things as well as you can.” Fortunately for the third contractor and his clients, he learned that lesson. And they lived happily ever after!
