Resolving to chop more wood than John .. he worked tirelessly without stopping. Around lunch time he put down his axe and stopped to eat, as he sat down he looked at John’s pile.. it is still larger than his, this annoyed him so much that he decided not to eat but to continue chopping, more determined to out to John, he started chopping trees continuously without having food and water. In the evening when it is getting dark, and Sandy was keen to see if he had managed to cut more wood than John, again he was vexed to notice John has chopped a very large pile of wood, far more than all the wood he had cut. Now, Sandy marched against John and asked to know how he had cut more wood, especially when he had noticed John resting more frequently. John smiled at Sandy and asked him to calm down. He told Sandy that he had mistaken him for resting, it appeared him to be resting … actually he was sharpening his axe. The moral of the story is that there is always time for everything in life.
