Humility pays

We had this gardener who was sacked for whatever reason 3 years ago. He was an expert at a particular job. That job now needed to be done. There was no one else that we could find to do that job. I remembered him but did not know how to approach. I hit upon an idea. I dialed his number and wanted to know whose number it was as I said I was in the process of cleaning my phone book. He blurted out his name. I told him who I was. He was in ecstasy. After a few pleasantries he is there now at our place, attending to that chore. We may reinstate him.
