Rico was a skilled and versatile individual, adept at various tasks. He possessed the abilities of a handyman, possessing the capability to construct and repair nearly anything. He single-handedly constructed his own residence and consistently offered assistance to others when feasible. Rico consistently answered affirmatively when approached for aid. One day, he received correspondence from his longtime companion, Lisa, who resided in a distant location and operated a farm populated by horses.
"Dear Rico, I am in need of your help. It has been a while since we last met, but I know you are skilled at fixing things. Unfortunately, there was a serious accident that caused significant damage to my house. The destruction includes broken doors, windows, and all of my furniture. Even th
...ough we are far apart, Rico is the only person I trust to assist me." As a result, Rico gets ready to provide his support.
He loads his bag with all of his tools, not knowing what he will need because Lisa said that almost everything was broken! He filled his backpack with tools but needed more, so he filled up 2 more bags with tools and other parts that he might need to assist her. Rico grabbed a tent, food for the trip there and his return, and he put on his backpack and began walking to Lisa’s house. Rico had a long journey ahead of him. The first night, he stopped and set up a tent.
Rico slept peacefully despite the strong wind at night. However, when he woke up in the morning, he saw that the wind had stopped. Sadly, all his food was missing when Rico went to gather hi
things. Despite having only three bags of tools left and no provisions for the journey, Rico made a decision: "It doesn't matter. I have to help Lisa." With determination, he continued on with only his meager supplies and tent. Although the second day was challenging, Rico persisted even though he felt extremely hungry. In the evening, as Rico pitched his tent, hunger became evident through the loud growling of his empty stomach.
Despite being kept awake by the strong wind that night, Rico woke up to a breathtaking sunrise. He then discovered that his tent had disappeared, carried away by the wind. However, Rico remained determined and unfazed, declaring "It doesn't matter." Realizing he was close to Lisa's house, he gathered his belongings and began walking. A few hours later, he arrived at Lisa's house.
Rico was extremely tired and famished, but Lisa expressed her gratitude for his arrival. They had lunch together and began repairing the house. Rico dedicated the entire day to the task, and that evening Lisa provided him with a new tent to sleep in since he had lost his own. As Rico and Lisa continued their work on the house for two more days, she made sure he had enough food to replenish his energy after his long journey. Once the house was finally completed, Rico felt incredibly exhausted. The past five days had been filled with extensive labor, leaving him uncertain of his ability to walk back home.
Lisa expressed her gratitude to Rico for his assistance and offered him one of her horses as a gesture of kindness. She assured him that if he needed help with the horse, he could
contact her via letter. Rico accepted the offer and departed the following morning, taking his horse and three bags of tools. Lisa also provided enough food for his journey back home. Before sunset, Rico successfully arrived at his destination and showed appreciation by writing a letter to Lisa, stating that having the horse would facilitate helping others without lengthy travels. However, he realized he had accidentally left one bag of tools at Lisa's house but planned to retrieve it the next day.
