A man hired a carpenter to help him make repairs to his old farm.
The first day of work presented many inconveniences: his electric cutter broke down, which caused him to lose an hour of work; In addition, his truck, already a bit old, refused to start.
Faced with this mishap, the man who had hired him decided to take him home.
He hardly spoke at all during the tour, but when he got home, he invited him to meet his family. As they headed for the door, he paused briefly in front of a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When a door was opened, a transformation surprisingly occurred. His tanned face was full of smiles.
He hugged his two young children and gave his wife a kiss. Later, he accompanied his employer to the car.

The latter, before saying goodbye, asked the carpenter about what he had seen him do on the tree a while before.
"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. I know I can't help but have problems at work, but one thing is for sure: problems do not belong in the houseNot my wife, not my children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I get home.
Then in the morning I pick them up again.
The funny thing is," he concluded with a smile, "that when I go out in the morning to pick them up, there aren't as many as the ones I remember hanging up the night before.
