- Aesop Traveler talks to 3 bricklayers
- 1st person
- Brick by brick.
- It’s hard to work all day laying bricks.
- It’s not fair that some people live more comfortably.
- Second person.
- Bricks are piled up to form a wall.
- I support my family with this job.
- Thank God I have a job.
- Three.
- We’re building a cathedral that will go down in history.
- Would be a great job!
One feels enrichment when one has a sense of connection with The Big One. (In the case of this story, the historic cathedral).
variation
- In some cases, the second person says, “I’m going to be the best bricklayer in the world.”
