One day, an owner of a boat asked a man to paint a boat for him. When the man was painting, he found there was a hole and repaired (修理) it. When he finished painting, he got his money and left.

The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and sent him with a nice check (支票) and it was much higher than the money for painting.

"You have paid me for painting the boat!" he said in surprise.

"But this is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the hole in the boat," answered the owner of the boat.

"It was just a small service. You don't have to pay me such a high price!"

Then the owner told the man what happened. When he asked the man to paint the boat, he forgot to tell about the hole. After the paint was dry, his children took the boat to fish but they didn't know the hole. The owner wasn't at home at that time. So when he came back and heard they had taken the boat, he was worried. Luckily, his children came back soon from fishing. He was excited.

Then he checked the boat and found that the man had repaired the hole!

"You saved the lives of my children! I don't have enough money to pay your ‘small' good deed," said the owner.
