When we were relaxing at home one Sunday evening, there was a phone call. My partner picked it up and said, “Hello? Oh, hi… oh, OK, I’ll be right down!” No sooner than he hung up the phone, he put his shoes on and jumped out of the door. “What’s happening??”, I had no idea what he was doing and I waited for him return. He got back soon and said, “Can you guess why I went down?” “Oh, no, I have no idea”, I said and he showed me a very funny shaped tool with a broad smile. “What’s that? What it’s for?”, I totally couldn’t see what it was for. He said, “Ditmar brought this to us to fix the wooden floor!”. Yes, it was a special tool to fix our floor. For some reason, some of the planks of our wooden floor in front of the fireplace had started sliding apart and there were some crevasses between each board. We tried to push the boards together, but they were too hard to move. A few days before, Ditmar came to check it out and he tried to fix it with a big hammer and a special tool, but it didn’t work well. He said he had another special and better tool to fix these kinds of crevasses at home somewhere, but he couldn’t find it at that time. He seemed to find the tool finally. “Wow, sounds excellent! Then we’ll be able to fix the crevasses at last!”, I was excited and he started using it right away. However, unfortunately, it didn’t work well, either. When he used the tool, he had to use a hammer and it made a big noise when he hit the tool with it. As it was an early evening already, we gave up using it because we thought the noise might annoy the neighbours. Next morning, after my partner went to work, I decided to try using the tool. As it was a weekday morning, I didn’t need to worry about making noise because most people must have gone to work. It took a little longer to get used to using the tool, but eventually, I got the hang of it. And I ended up fixing all of the crevasses with the tool!! I did it! To be honest, I surprised myself!! |
