Chapter 40 The place where luck is
People hope to meet lucky things, but whether you can meet them or not depends on your own luck.There was a poor worker who was a turner who specialized in making umbrella handles.One day, there was a heavy rain, and the branches of the pear tree in his yard were broken.Turner used pear branches to carve out many small wooden pears for the children to play with.Later, when Rotary went out with an umbrella, the strong wind blew the small buttons on the umbrella away.When Rotary returned home, he saw that there was still a small wooden pear in the house. He put it on the place where the button of the umbrella fell off, but he didn't expect it to be really suitable!The pear became the best little button on the umbrella.The turner sent the umbrella to the merchants, and the merchants said that the pear buckle was very good.Turner sent these small wooden pears and umbrellas to all over the world and made a lot of money.
